Goodbye, Summer

(adapted from Goodnight, Moon)

Goodbye, summer.

Goodbye, pool.
Goodbye, ducks swimming in the pool.
Goodbye, balls.
Goodbye, falls.
Goodbye, long walks.Goodbye, sidewalk chalksGoodbye, waterfall.Goodbye, swings.Goodbye, beach volleyball.Goodbye, melon.

Goodbye, Eleni helping Nash to more melon.Goodbye, coaster craze.Goodbye, lazy days.

We rested from our every care.
Goodbye, summer everywhere.

for a while I was thinking, "why good-bye? the good weather is just starting!!"
Then I realized summer is ending for everyone but us over here in the East.

I made your pasta primavera two days ago and thought about our weekly dinners together.
