Headlong

Summer has arrived early this year. Although the season hasn't officially started, the ground is looking brown and baked. It's funny, all year long I've been wondering whether I should change my summer icon for something a little more obvious--a nice seashell perhaps. But now that the season is here, I can see how perfect the cicada is.

I've begun to slip into my summer routine of walking the dogs no later than mid-morning and watering the garden in the evening. Sahaquiel and I bought a birdbath today, which should hopefully ease some of the stress on our feathered neighbours... once they discover it. I keep peeking out the window to see if they're using it yet.

Today was a day for running errands. I'd hoped to pick up some Christmas cards from the local RSPCA, since my stocks were running low, but they don't yet have any. I know some will argue that I'm just super organised to have started before 1 December. However, I think I kind of need to be with how busy this time of year gets. I can feel the headlong charge to the end of the year happening around me. I'm not ready yet--there's still so much to be done! Where did 2014 go?

Even the day has managed to slip away from me. Already, I need to wrap up on the computer and unwind before bed. There was tons more I wanted to write about, but I think it's going to have to wait for another day.

It is amazing how quickly summer has felt like its kicked in.

It certainly has. I'm glad the cool change has come through to stave off the hot weather a little longer.
