School has started, guys. Can you believe it?

That signals the unofficial end of summer to me. And while my school days are long behind me, I can still smell “school” in the air. Β Whenever I walk outside early in the morning and feel the crispness of the air, it just reminds me of starting school all over again.

Mainly, I’m transported to my high school days. And then I happily remember that those days over and I immediately breathe a sigh of relief. I actually liked school, but it’s nice to know that I don’t have to return if I don’t want to. And I think one Master’s degree is enough, right? I don’t think I have the energy to devote myself to a second one!

Ok, enough about school!

Let’s talk about all the things that remind me of summer, such as warm weather, cool treats, and fresh produce. Have I mentioned that I love fresh produce? I feel like I live at the farmer’s market on the weekends, so I’m trying to savor all of the time I have left with it.

Besides buying loads of tomatoes and fresh fruit, I usually stock up on corn. I love cooking fresh corn on the cob. The flavors are so delicious and just ooze summer to me. Who’s with me?
