Summer is Officially Gone

There's a time of year when even before the first leaf falls, you can feel the seasons change. The air is crisp, the summer is gone, and for the first night in a long time, you need a big blanket on your bed. As much as Nate and I love the change of seasons, it is hard to say goodbye to summer. Here are just a few things we will miss...

.
Biking to the park, reading a good book, and soaking up some sun.Going on weekend walks in 70 degree weather (this is a field that overlooks Basel).

All of the lush green vines.

This one is outside our kitchen window.

And all the colorful flowers...


The only thing we regret is not swimming in the Rhine. People swim throughout the summer, but we never got around to it. One day, there is a fun swim day and race. We were away on this day, but I found this picture of the event... look at all the people in the water! We might join in next year... we'll see!

We hope that, wherever you are, you enjoyed your summer too.
