I heard the crickets chirp and was reminded that the end of summer is near. I became very nostalgic, the chirp, chirp, chirp triggered memories and made me a bit sad that fall is quickly approaching. Their musical sounds reminded me of taking my children to football and cheerleading practice, school shopping for clothes and supplies, the smell of making applesauce, canning tomatoes and getting my classroom ready for September. Shorter days and longer shadows, crisp mornings, and an early frost killing the marigolds, I know that summer is coming to an end.
