HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1976-09-30, Page 7Something tells me the magic of summer
has worn off.
Maybe lest the swings hanging
motionless in the -park.
Maybe it's the rows of bikes lined up in
front of the schools or the yellow buses that
suddenly reappeared on the roads.
Maybe it's the hockey sticks that
replaced the baseball bats in the makeshift
back street playgrounds. •
Maybe it's the influx of sports on TV -
Baseball, football and hockey.
Maybe it's the cry of the barker at the
fair or the midway music combined with
shrill screams.
Maybe it's the cold waves breaking on
an empty shore or the lighthouse beaming
its rays from a deserted h arbour or the
cottages with their windows barred.
Maybe it's the, patches of red and gold
among the green leaves or the smattering
of dry brown leaves that covers the
• ground.
Maybe it's the barren gardens and
• flower beds, fields and fruit trees. Or,
maybe it's the white of the corn stalkes and
the orange of the pumpkins.
Maybe it's the shadows that cloak the
early evenings or the long nights or the
reluctant dawns. Maybe it's the quiet,
morning devbid of the friendly robins'
chirp.
Maybe it's the noisy gathering of birds
in the treetops in the afternoon and their
sudden swoop .muthward. Or, maybe it's
the flocks of gee flying over the bush in
their V-formation.
Maybe it's the jacket that's needed when....
I go outside or the sandals that are left in
the closet.
Maybe it's the extra blanket that's
needed at night or the thermostat that's
tumetrup. Or, maybe it's the shiver I feel
after eating an ice cream cone,
Maybe it's the Christmas countdown
that's already, begun or the suede and
leather coats that tip the racks in the
stores.
The calendar tells me summer is over
and so does the twinge of sadness that I
feel. On these autumn days, I reflect on, the
good times that are gone.
Admittedly the summer of '76 was
disappointing with some of the worst
weather experienced in years. It's only
natural that some of us feel cheated, for
summer seemed to end before it had
begun.
The sun didn't shine long enough to give
me the traditional tan of which I used to he
so proud.
Of course, some people call themselves
"winter persons", and they can hardly
wait for the snow with its skating, sledding
and snow machines. Their fun season is
only beginning.
For other, people, the arrival of autumn
in Ontario signals a forthcoming tr ip down
south.
As for me, Pd ▪ gladly suffer another •
painful sunburn or the itch of mosquito
bites, if I thought I could recapture some of
the magic of summer.
