Saying Goodbye to Summer with a Blue Margarita

I love the magic of summer: the majestic colors which paint the evening sunset, longer days and warmer weather, the night's darkness lite up by the dance of the fire flies, summer night's symphony courtesy of the crickets, cicadas, and frogs, the glow from the barbecues, and outdoor parties with dear friends. Saying goodbye to summer is hard to do. Let's hope for an early summer next year.  Cheers!
