I know that once I see Labor Day in the United States approach that I am not ready to give up on Summer. I have a feeling that you really don\'t think you should either!

Summer doesn't officially end until September 21st, but the weather outside doesn't always cooperate with our calendars!
Our longest summer day takes place on the 21st of June in the Northern Hemisphere- the Summer Equinox. While this may be the longest day of the year, the weather is still amazing through July, August and even September-nice enough to take advantage of the temperatures in the afternoon (if you're working full-time) and most definitely on the weekends!
Be like me! Refuse to put all of your summer clothing away- ever! I've been known to break out some summer sandals even into November...
So in honor of the unofficial prolonging Summer, here is my list of top tips for keeping Summer alive and well into September and maybe even into October!
Annette's "I Refuse to Believe That Summer Goes Away so I'm Just Going to Ignore the Change in Seasons" List!
1. Take advantage of the cooler temperatures in the early Fall to do some of the outdoors things you didn't get to over the summer. Weekend warriors unite!
2. Most Amusement Parks have post-Labor Day hours with smaller crowds. Less people, less sun & heat = More rides, more fun!
3. There are A LOT of fruits & vegetables that are in season and they are EVERYWHERE! Take advantage because they are cheap, delicious & healthy!
4. Summer berries! You will not get them as fresh & delicious as you will in the summer. Eat as much as you'd like and then stock up. Freeze what you have room for and break them out when you want, even when there's snow on the ground!
5. Same goes for Fresh Herbs! Snip, dry & freeze. One hint- label the container or bag so that you know exactly what you have. Fresh herbs will bring the summer back during the darker days of the winter.
6. Back off of the AC. Cooler evenings & nights in the fall let your AC unit take a much needed break. It gives your wallet a break too.
7. Plan mini-vacations close to where you live. Afternoon or day trips give you a chance to sight-see with a bonus- most of the tourists are gone once Summer is "officially" over!
8. Go for a walk! The air is crisper & cleaner and the temperatures are just low enough so that you can walk comfortably without piling on the layers.
As much as I hate to admit it, I know that Autumn will hit us full force sooner or later. But here is no reason why all of us cannot hold onto our summertime mentality into the Fall or even into the Winter.
So try it out! Find any simple way to get more Summer into your September and beyond!
