Ahh, though summer season does not officially end on the calendar until September 20th- here in the US it has come to it’s unofficial close marked by a long, lovely Labor Day weekend.
I both love and loath this holiday weekend. Ever year I struggle to say good bye to the long, lazier days-I always feel as if I need just one more week, don’t you? Yet at the same time, I do admit that I get a tingly feeling of recharged energy at the thought of a productive and exciting Autumn.
I guess that really is what the weekend was designed to do. A last hurrah of sun and fun, a time to reflect take a deep breath and to be inspired. (Along with drinking ice cold beer, doing the limbo and eating vast quantities of grilled food that is!)
Fellow LIFC writers- Kimberlin and April and I did just that. Enjoyed a relaxing 2 days of fresh air and play on the Long Island Sound all while buzzing about our own creative plans for this Fall. September is the perfect time to start anew… to rethink wardrobes, decor, careers…to add new color to just about everything you do!
Our weekend palette.-a wash of pale sky blues and ocean purples, sandy taupes, moonlight grays. the hues of a clay court against tennis whites, beer bottle brown and a shocking shade of bright orange that kept showing up all wonderful weekend long!
Sounds like a great time.
Charlie’s Angels with tennis rackets! Sounds like you all saw out the end of summer with a bang . . . better than a whimper. Understand the whites and browns, but what’s up with the shocking shade of orange?
