Where is the summer going?

I am camping as we speak.  I'm sitting at a spare picnic table trying to pick up the wifi with a red laptop.  It's early in the morning, and most campers pulled out Monday morning.  Up here in New Brunswick, we had a holiday on Monday.  
It's only early August and I can see my breath this morning.
Yes, all of you sweltering in other parts of the continent, I could see my breath this morning.
But it's all part of the deal here.  I'm used to it.  
The one thing I 'm not used to dealing with, is some tight deadlines.  I've got to finish a manuscript by Sept 30, paint birdfeeders for a fundraiser and we've been invited to several functions this summer.  
Summers are for time off, aren't they?
And yet, we weren't planning to go anywhere for holidays because both our kids are working full time, so we squeezed in some fun activities on weekends.  Take this one for instance.  We went to the drive in theatre.  The triple bill showed Aliens in the Attic first, and to tell you the truth, I loved it!  The funniest part came when the kids had to use an old rotary phone!  Hilarious!
Well, my fellow campers have made coffee for me, and must go.  They're staring to tease me about sitting out in a field by myself.
I guess I'm outstanding in my field.
Groan.  It's early.  I can see my breath, and I need coffee.  What more can I say?
