high sun of summer

I ate lunch outside on Friday and the ground was already littered with leaves.  I couldn't believe it.  It's only August!  I'm not ready for the seasons to change.  The cooler air puts my heart's bags in my hands and sets my soul wandering.   That "clever north wind..."* always gets me...so please, summer, stay with us a little longer.

*the clip I linked to is the end of Chocolat...be careful if you don't want to know the resolution.
