Good-bye to Summer

  • by

Labor Day always seems to signal the unofficial end of summer. Even though neither of us returns to work this year, it still had that “end of summer” feel to it. We had great weather and took good advantage of it. Saturday we went to a picnic at Pete and Arlene’s. Arlene and Shaun had just celebrated their birthdays so sparklers were in order.

I love Pete and Arlene’s fire pit on their deck. If we had a bit more room on our patio, I’d seriously consider buying one.

On Sunday, Tracy and I drove to Chimney Bluffs on Lake Ontario. Neither of us had ever been there before. The trail goes along the rocky shoreline, then heads up to the top of the cliffs so you are looking down on the lake.

There were lots of folks swimming. It was a really nice day, but the water in the lake is still pretty cold.

After our hike, Matt met us at The Bayside Pub for dinner. We’d never been there before and I’d definitely go back. It’s a very casual place, but the setting and the food are both great.

I love the reflection in his glasses.

It was a great way to say “good-bye” to summer.

  1. Hi Karen, I’m way behind on blogs because I’ve been busy sewing and not had much time for anything else. I have finished the quilt for my dad and am really pleased with the way it turned out. I’ll post photos on my blog next week – after Dad gets it for his birthday.
    I love the photos you’ve got in this blog post. You live near some beautiful scenery and the reflection in the sunglasses is fantastic. We are also now heading into Autumn with the mornings and evenings being much cooler already. The trees are just starting to turn and, I have to admit, I love this season! Hope to post to my blog fairly soon.
    Take care
    Rhona
