Happy Second Day of Autumn!

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song.
I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long
Time hurries on.
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl.
I held her close, but she faded in the night
Like a poem I meant to write.
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello,
Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye,
That's all there is.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown.

Simon & Garfunkel
(This song is very seasonally appropriate...don't you think?)

It's become a tradition that every summer we create "tent city" at San Onofre State Beach. Spending all day on the sand and all night under the stars is really the best way to end the summer!

The end of one long summer...


Today is Labor Day. It's the final holiday weekend of summer 2011. I would be on the beach soaking up every last ray of sunlight, but it's oddly stormy here in so. California. I kind of love it! I'm so very excited to start a new school year. It's been a very long summer, and I'm ready for my favorite season...fall!

Goat Balls!

These little guys were a hit and super easy!
