Pumpkin spice coffee and candles have infiltrated the grocery store, but I’m still holding onto summer. Don’t get me wrong, I love autumn, but between my surgery and relocating to Milwaukee, our summer slipped by. Therefore, while I may need a jacket to go outside, I’m going to keep the summer spirit alive for a few more weeks.
