I always feel summer is over when the children return to school. I know as a child that was when I felt summer leave and since I worked in a school system as an adult I still felt that way. I am retired and every day is a holiday but seeing the kids going back to school continues to signal the end of summer for me.

It's not over for me until the end of September. And the official end of summer is September 22nd. I can't stand the push for the end of seasons, other than winter.

It's the worst summer of my life so I don't care when it's over.

The sound of crickets chirping reminds me summer is waning and fall is on its way.

Oh yes! Same here! We've been noticing trees turning color for a few weeks now! Seems to be the younger trees turning first. Bummer.

Pumpkin drinks at coffee shops (and pumpkin everything else).

The State Fair starts.

My favorite time of year!

I don't hear birds singing in the morning. It's a quiet stillness.

...when the cicadas are at their loudest, and they leave their shells on our trees and in our yard.

Our State Fair has just ended, so that always signals to me Summer is over shortly-not quite yet though, still nice and warm and sunny!!!!!

We were in Michigan over the weekend and it was beautiful there as well, I forget how beautiful that state is. My husband was saying he would love to retire to Michigan........

...when my pool and my house are empty.

My kids and family spend a lot of time here in the summer because we live on the Bay in a Beach area. Labor Day is our last big weekend..till they have the October Fall Festival.
