When I was younger, the unoffical start of Summer was Memorial Day and the end was Labor Day. At the time, my school always wrapped up before Memorial Day and we started back after Labor Day. Now it seems that the school year is longer...or maybe it is the fact they seem to have more holidays during the yera than we ever did.
For me, those two US Holidays still signal the start and end of Summer, even though there are official days tied to the soltice and today was an ideal way to end the summer. :sunny:
It was in the mid-to-high 80's and sunny. I've been going to the pool in the early evening but today I went during the day and was suprised to get a lap lane all to myself the entire hour. After I swam my laps, I decided to sit by the pool for awhile and relax instead of coming home right after swimming for an hour like I usually do.
Just wondering for those of you who have these types of summer beginning and ending holidays feel that Summer is now over?
Take care
