When my kids were in middle school and high school, the week
before Labor Day usually meant scrambling to gather enough school supplies and
school clothes to start the year. Often it meant a few glorious days with their
cousins at Bear Lake. It almost always meant cooler days and chilly morning
walks. This year is a bit different. Sure, the trees up in the canyons are
starting to change colors. There are back-to-school sales in all the stores.
But the abnormally hot summer weather doesn’t show any sign of leaving. I, for
one, am ready to see it go. I’m ready to trade in my sandals for sneakers and
cotton socks. I’m ready to enjoy using my oven for roasting and baking good things. And I’m more
than ready to start seeing electric bills that don’t reflect an over-active
air conditioner.
