Spend these last glorious golden days lavishly. Squander them, spread them as far as they will go. Eke out every last drop, memorizing, and absorbing the sunlight as it sprinkles through leaves, the crisp tartness in the air like the first bite of a fall apple. Relish the colors that are created by the cooler nights, the warmth of the day, making flowers sparkle, even as they droop. Spend these days, for soon they will be nothing more than a faded tan, and a memory. Fall has come, leaves will drop, rain will be our constant worry, but for now, scoop up arm fulls of the first day of Autumn. Revel in warm toes. Celebrate and spend lavishly.
