Every year about this time, the tail end of summer, I hear a familiar lament, a harbinger of doom. All it takes are a few cool, drizzly days on the heels of endless weeks of hot sunshiny weather. The Ned Starks of the neighbourhood close their doors against the cool night breeze and whisper, “Winter is coming.”
Oh, good lord – really? Already? Yes, I know – the monsoons will be here, sure as gray hair and wrinkles, but let’s not rush them. There are plenty of warm sunny days still to come. They might even be hot enough to complain about!
I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear the “W” word and go sniff the bottle of sunscreen lotion. Maybe we’ll have a BBQ in the rain – just to keep the smells of summer in the air.
How do you keep a hold onto summer?
One of the ways to prolong summer is to pick up a late summer beach read. Get your copy of Secret Sky from Kindle with one click right here. And if kindle or ebooks aren’t your preference, click on the bookstore tab for other purchase options (or just click on the covers below).
