'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,
All soft and still and fair;
The solemn hour of midnight
Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere,
But most where trees are sending
Their breezy boughs on high,
Or stooping low are lending
A shelter from the sky.
And there in those wild bowers
A lovely form is laid;
Green grass and dew-steeped flowers
Wave gently round her head.

Well, Friday has finally rolled around. And a three day weekend, to boot. Been looking forward to this. I really have no special plans for this weekend. I do hope to get out and do a little shopping, maybe get a few little things to last me through this summer. The problem is that the stores move through the seasons so quickly that there are no guarantees that I wil be able to find something. It was last year about this time that I went out all excited to find some sales and was disappointed to find that the summer items were relegated to a few racks and fall items had already taken over.
I'm sorry, but that really bothers me. Time is already passing by so quickly. For gosh sakes, give us a chance to enjoy it. It's summer. Let me enjoy it. Autumn will be here soon enough, and if the stores want to put their fall items up in August, I won't complain, but July? Too soon. I don't know about you, but when its 90 degrees and humid, and the sweat is pouring off me, I can't even look at a long-sleeved shirt, so, for the life of me, I don't understand their logic. And the holidays....that's even worse. They'll have Christmas here before we know it.
But, hey, I'm not going to sit here complaining. It's a three day weekend, and I am going to savor every moment of it. Ancestry sent me an email that they've got the records of the Sons of the American Revolution, and I plan to make some time to check it out. What perfect timing...a three-day weekend, a day to honor those who fought that our country may be free, a day to honor our ancestors...
...and with that, here's hoping each and every one of you have a wonderful weekend filled with joy, love, and laughter.

Oh my gosh this happened to George and I the other day at the store looking for floats for the pool. I couldn't believe that everything was on clearance. This is 4th of July weekend and the summer is over?! I so agree don't even want to see those heavy clothes this time of year! Hope your weekend was a great one! Love you!
