Good-bye, Summer. Hello, Fall.

Good-bye flip-flops. Hello Naot.
Good-bye tan. Hello pasty white skin.
Good-bye leisurely mornings. Hello mad morning carpool rush.
Good-bye quickly throwing clothes on the kids. Hello layers upon layers upon layers.
Good-bye long days of sunshine to play in. Hello dark, cold evenings that keep us indoors.
Good-bye 5 whole months of nary a sniffle. Hello being sick for pretty much the next 7 months straight.
Good-bye shabbat meals of grilled chicken that Shimmy mostly handles. Hello slaving all day in the kitchen for the many, many holiday meals.

Speaking of which, gotta get back to the kitchen.
