Can We Please Finish Summer First?

I have a simple request for the companies promoting pumpkin-spice season: Please let my Coppertone dry before you declare autumn! Here in Georgia, we're often still enjoying swimming weather when the pumpkin-spice products start arriving. I love Thanksgiving, colorful leaves, and homemade pumpkin desserts, but must we rush everything? I've written a lighthearted look at the seasonal madness, complete with surprising products and a few personal complaints. Sunshine lovers, this one's for you!
