Holding onto summer

Fall is approaching and I'm a little saddened that summer is almost over. I'm a bit of a cold weather wimp; which is why summer is my favorite season (aside from the fond memories of summer vacation). I'm going to wear shorts and tanks until the chilly breeze prevents me from doing so.
