Goodbye, Summer

Nothing says Labor Day like a fun afternoon at a swimming pool. Above, we see families having fun and telling summer goodbye at Pinetop Swim and Tennis. Pinetop is located at 3723 Pinetop Road, between Hobbs and New Garden Road, tucked in behind Claxton Elementary School. Members love the sense of community and talk about the relaxed and easy-going atmosphere of Pinetop.

While, technically, summer will linger a little longer, Labor Day tends to be the break from summer dressing, decorating, and vacationing to the sights and sounds of fall. In the neighborhood near Pinetop, one couple was decorating their yard with scarecrows and pumpkins. Another was decorating with yellow mums. We saw a politician, gearing up for fall elections by driving along Hobbs putting campaign signs in yards. So quickly, we will be thinking about fall festivals, pumpkin sales in church yards, the Jewish High Holy Days, and eating turkey and pumpkin pie. However, yesterday, for one last day, around Greensboro, we all reveled in the beautiful sunlight of summer's last holiday. Alas, the baithing suits, beach towels, white shoes and searsucker suits are put away. Bring on the wool and flannel shirts.
