I can't believe Summer is already coming to a close. I love Autumn, but I am not really ready for the upcoming Winter. I am trying hard to be happy about every season, and I do like Winter for a while, but I am already dreading the way it takes forever to loosen its dreary grip. Ugh.
Until then, there is still a lot of look forward to in the seasons to come.
