so long, summer

After a rainy gray weekend here in DC, there's no doubt that fall is on it's way, and although the cooler temps are a welcome respite from months of sweltering heat and sweaty commutes,  i can't help but feel a little melancholy as we didn't spend enough time at the beach, at the pool, browsing the farmers market... We didn't eat enough corn on the cob, tomatoes and fresh basil and i didn't bake enough berry pies drowned in heavy cream.

We're holding out hopes for one last beach trip next weekend barring continued hurricane activity. How is your summer wrapping up? Are you ready for fall?
