Goodbye summer

It feels like summer had hardly begun this year before it was declared "over." Heck, my dahlia plant, which is supposed to bloom in late summer, just got its first bud last week. So I'm going to insist that summer hang around at least through the end of September to ensure that we get our fair due of sunny days and warm weather. I'm not quite ready to let go...

Here are a few shots of my friends' son during our long weekend at their lake house in NY. This was the only sunny day of our trip, but it was still a pretty entertaining time.
