Days are getting shorter, well they’re really still all 24 hours long but they seem to be getting shorter with less and less daylight. Where the hell did summer go? It seems like just yesterday I was getting excited about my favorite season being on the horizon and just like that, the door is slowing closing. A summer past, means we are all that much older when the next comes around, no matter how much we stay young at heart. Summer as kid was sooooo friggin awesome. Cruising on the Huffy, late nights and no school but that flew by too. What is summer’s deal?

I truly believe there is a correlation between our cold ass winters and the Midwest work ethic title. If you have to get up an hour early to shovel, scrape off the car and fight those elements, you probably can handle more than most 24-7 fish taco and sandal lovers can. Don’t get me wrong, I wish I didn’t have to… I’m just saying that I think it gives us a little edge on most. Plus we have to truly show appreciation for what we do get, because it doesn’t take very long to remind us that we are in fact in Wisconsin.

Did you get to do everything you wanted to do this summer? Take that one last trip you wanted to. Visit those friends you thought for sure you would. Pick up that hobby, get a ton of sun or spend time with friends & family. Don’t worry, nobody ever checks off everything on his or her list… plus there is always next summer.
