In the past week I've seen two ads mentioning back to school.  Hold off on that! School just got out for the summer!  I don't even want to think about the rush of back to school yet.  For now, I want to think about warm summer breezes, open windows in the house, sitting out on the porch at night,  swimming, sleveless outfits, watermelon and cantaloupe, blueberries and strawberry shortcake,  the first produce from my garden, driving with the car windows open going to a lake or ocean, beaches and sand, summer fairs and festivals, and sitting outside on summer nights.

There is not much of summer away from school anymore. They will get out around here probably this week, but end up back by august 1.

It does seem that summer break is shorter than when I was a kid. We started right after labor day, and were out about May 25.

there is no real summer vacation around here.......the schools are still in session until the 3rd week in june, and start up again the 2nd week of aug!!....it is in the 90s now, and usually is in the 90s in aug, yet the kids are in school, with no A/C......

i remember when i was a kid, and we were out by memorial day, and did not go back until the day after labor day!!..........and we learned 10 times more than the kids do these days....

all in all, i am glad that we home schooled my daughter AND my grandson!!

I agree with you. Advertisers, could you just let us enjoy the Summer, first. Have a good weekend.

Don't even go there!

Actually I start as soon as the kids are out of school. This year I need tons more of those glue sticks, some pens, paper, folders, and that should do it for us.

Saturday I walked into Hobby Lobby, and I was overwhelmed with the gold and orange decor of fall. It looked like it was already fall there. I'm starting to see hints of fall here and there in other stores too.
