Where did the summer go?

Does anyone know where summer went? The last time I looked it was just starting and now I turn around and it's gone. I believe that I've traveled to some show or event every weekend between May and last Sunday. When you're on the go that much you don't get much time to come up for air, especially when you have two businesses (writing and restoration) to run during the week. Now I find myself a bit behind on my appraisal work, a looming book deadline and some personal car and truck projects. And even getting to those has to take a back seat to storage and antifreeze necessities. I'm almost happy that slower-paced winter is coming, but being from the snow belt state of Wisconsin, I'm not crazy enough to voice a statement like that out loud.
