From the Trocadero~ Missing Paris Day

It's been hot in Paris lately, I'm told. 

I'm miserable in heat without air conditioning

so I know how I would be 

but something in me would still like to be there,

walking the sultry streets~

enjoying the revelers in cafe chairs~

the picnickers on the lawn of the Champ de Mars~

the trucked-in sand of the Paris Plage.

The summer has flown by here,

weeks escaping like wind on the moors.

I've barely had time to catch my breath.

I had the weekend to myself which I thought would do it 

but I still feel like I just scratched the surface of my To-Do List!

Hope you all have enjoyed your summer

and are getting ready for that 

To-Do List that is fall. 

I can feel it already in the air. 

Enjoy the last precious days.
