Yep, that's me.
On a giant Unicorn.
In my nieces' pool.
Reclining and enjoying the beautiful clear skies.
My final goodbye to Summer 2019!
Yessssssssssss. This is it. Just a couple days left and it will officially be Fall! My favorite season, my unofficial new year, my birthday season ... the BEST season everrrr! I can't contain it any more; I'm bursting with excitement. I just can't handle it anymore!!!
When mama said we were going to have one last BBQ and pool day outside before the Summer season came to an end you should have seen my face. I was euphoric, ecstatic, beaming with glee! The last of Summer!! WOW. It is finally ending?! Now, I doubt mama meant it as her last (she loves the outdoors!) I am still hoping for the best!
Summers this year felt worse than ever. I don't know why or how but it was just extra hot, extra pathetic, extra bug-filled, extra dragged this year. I literally slogged through the season - Ughhhh. But but but buttttttt let us not talk about it anymore. If I ignore it hard enough it just ends right?! I'll talk about the good stuff instead ...
So I had a beautiful fun day outside that Saturday. The universe literally aligned for me that once actually. Miraculously, the weather became pleasant and the sun hid behind some light clouds and the bugs went away for a few hours. That's when I made an entrance and that too with fresh fried, steaming hot, cajun spiced french fries. As my awesomeness came through and the delicious smell of french fries filled the air, my niece Gubby shouted, "Beeya is here! Beeya come!" I placed the fries (after grabbing a fistful of them and devouring them in one go!) on the table where mama and bro were BBQing away and then joined Gubbzy in the pool. We spent the next hour or more splashing and singing and playing and being absolutely crazy in there. I even relaxed on Gubby's huge unicorn float. It was so peaceful to just lay back in the pool, my legs in the cool water, and watch the beautiful bright sky. You know if you lie down flat the only thing you see is the sky. You don't see the grass or the house or the roads or any part of the backyard at all ... just the sky, which looked like it was just as happy as I was to say goodbye to Summer that day!
Then came the best part - the SMORES! Back when this year started was the first time I introduced Smores to my tummy and since then it keeps craving Smores again and again and again. They are just SO good. I'd been totally missing out on these all these years! Why did I never try Smores before? Whyyyyy? But now that I have, they are my favorite part of every BBQ we have. They're just so delicious and such fun to make! Gubby's colored marshmallows make them double the fun too. Soaked and dripping, I made my way to the Smores. Warm, soft, graham crunch, sweet, chocolatey, delicious ... mmmm mmmmmm! I was in heaven. I'm certain there'll be Smores in heaven, by the way. Pretty certain.
And with the Smores we concluded the last BBQ and Pool Party of Summer 2019! That evening, I came back inside my house with a slight happy jump in my walk. This was it ... the end of Summers! My season was next! My birthday, my chill in the air, my color changing leaves, my cozy days, my cozy nights, my hot chocolates, my darling darling Fall! *sighs*
