Warm Summer Haze (click here for audio version)


Well, here they come…the lamentations of the end of summer. With the last 3 day weekend of the summer in the name of Labor Day, it begins to seep into our consciousness, all the things that we haven’t done before the end of summer. Did you take that extra vacation? Did you clean out your attic or garage? Did you really re-stain your patio deck? Of course you didn’t, and now it’s eating away at you. Where did the summer months disappear to? Well just “chalk it up” to something I like to call the “summer haze.” It’s the time when you get caught up in it just being summer. The heat, the bbq’s, the pool (if you are lucky enough to have one), the kids being out of school, all contributing factors to the “summer haze.” When it happens, we don’t know it until the calendar of “reality” strikes September. Why just a few days ago it felt like the beginning of June, and now here we are already at September! Next thing you know the kids will be all dressed up for Halloween! Oh where has the “summer of possibilities” gone to? It was the summer haze. I know the feeling, there are still a few “outside” projects that I haven’t gotten to yet, and it makes me crazy to know that soon the summer will be over and I haven’t gotten to them. So what happened? How did the summer haze affect you? Did it lead to having watched way too much youtube? Did you think, “I will start painting the house right after a few more blooper videos?” I know I enjoy getting lost for a while in some of the nonsense posted on youtube. But I have to admit, not only are some of the videos entertaining, I get to learn new expressions by reading the “comments” section below the videos. For instance…my new favorite term is…”Epic Fail,” a term I am very familiar with, especially if you have ever heard me try to sing. So what other problems with the “haze” has kept you from your summertime accomplishments? Or maybe you just got a lethal dose of the summer haze and told yourself, “why do today that you can put off until tomorrow?” Hey, it has happened to the best of us. But whatever you do, don’t beat yourself up over it. Let it go. Besides, the summer was made for putting things in a “lower gear” and resting up for the bigger stuff coming up in a few months, like, dare I say…the holidays? Besides don’t people call them; “the lazy days of summer?” I would like to name a holiday after the person that came up with that one. Anyway, there is still some time left to break out of the spell of the haze and get your summer “projects” done, if you really need to. But if not, just enjoy the rest of your summer, breakout the lemonade and your cool sunglasses and live for today! After all, yesterday is gone and tomorrow hasn’t happened yet.

And remember, when you need some lemons for some delicious, fresh squeezed, end of the summer lemonade… call Pearson Ranch at 1-888-667-2643, or look us up on the web at www.pearsonranch.com.

As always, thanks for reading.
