Summer Calm

There is something particularly relaxing about sitting on a patio and drinking wine.

The end of summer, however, is upon us to quickly. And we aren't getting any younger.

I can see the shadows grow longer as the sun sets at a steeper angle. It isn't a euphemism, but the creeping shade reminds me of the coming cold as it covers the grass in a cloak of darkness. The difference in temperature is immediately measurable as the warming light disappears over the western front.

Winter is coming, and with it, an end to a glorious summer.
