Fall Is Approaching quickly

As a child I remember fall meaning school bells and fresh text books. As a mother fall means getting ready for the big holidays. Until today I was in denial fall was in full force. Walking home from Target I looked to my right. I see a tree that has finally hit yellow. Also resting nicely on the tip of Pikes Peak is a patch of snow. How can it already be the end of Summer? How can the year be 3/4 of the way over? The older I get the faster it passes. I am anxiously counting the days until halloween. Then from there on we have Thanksgiving and Christmas and my baby will be 8. Where does the time go? What my grandpa says is so true. The slower we want it to go the faster time ticks away. Enjoy this time while it last. Breath the crisp fall air and watch your children frolic...life is way too short. We will patiently watch the trees change and I will watch my babies too.
