Love or hate summer?

[chocolatepuppy]

Tolerate it! I hate being hot, I hate bugs, I hate storms, especially the ones where we end up spending the evening in the basement.

Summer for me, has taken on a new meaning.

I thoroughly enjoy it now. In CA it was just like all the other seasons.

Tonight I went out on the deck to make some calls.

The crickets were out, cicadas?

LOL, it's just like a surround sound experience.

Frogs and the fireflies.

I don't think I will ever get used to them. When I walk the dog one of the most special things
are the smells and sounds from around the block.

The smell of a freshly mown lawn or a storm coming in? Heat and dampness also have a definite smell.

The other day I heard music, being played quite loudly and it wasn't until I was almost through my walk that I realized it was from the ampitheater in the park.

Yeah, it's bugs and heat.

But it's being able to go out and not get dressed, it's the smell of a freshly cut watermelon or the chicken on a grill.

The best part about summer is right around December when it's cold and crappy outside.

The best part of winter is a 100 degree day during summer......

I enjoy summer, but I could do without the raw heat.

I enjoy the fireflies, gardening, sitting out reading while scritching a certain pup, deep sea fishing when I can get there, and other things I'm sure I'm forgetting.

However, there are things I ejoy about all seasons, and missed the changes when I was in Texas. The seasons there are brown, green, brown, green. Pretty boring, really.

I'm not too thrilled with the heat and humidity & the heat index in the summer in Butler, Pa., but at Concordia we have a lot of summer activities to keep us residents busy. When I was working at the golf course, I had gotten used to the heat and humidity, but now I seemed have lost that ability!
