The official first day of summer was this past week and with the temperatures heating up it definitely feels like summer. Summer is probably my least favorite season because of the heat, but many love the summer...beaches, tans, picnics, swimming and yes, the heat! It's that time of year, especially in the south with 100 degree days, that I feel like I move from one air-conditioned room/building/car to another. How did people deal with the heat before there was air conditioning?!?! Maybe it wasn't "this" hot? Or maybe they were just use to it?
My favorite season is fall! The perfect mild temperatures, cool breezes and spending more time outside. The crisp air, the leaves turning and just enough of a chill to pull out a jacket or warm up with some hot chocolate. Perfect!
Winter is winter...sometimes miserable (in the north), but usually fairly tolerable here in the south. Of course, I love all of the holidays during the winter and all the memories that are conjured up during that time. Fireplaces, snuggling up under warm quilts and soul-warming soups fill up the winter days. Fun, festivities...and freezing temps!
Spring is a time of transition. Leaves filling out their branches, flowers blooming vibrant colors, gardens being planted, lawn mowers revving up, and bugs! Yes, I think of bugs in spring. There's always that 2 months time frame where anytime I walk out the door I'm instantly attacked by whatever is lurking. I'm a magnet! At least it always seems that way. Oh, and weeds! Some years it's better than others, but I hate that transition of weeds popping up everywhere until that first mow ensues and it starts looking like a freshly manicured lawn again.
The seasons of our life. So much happens within each of those seasons and they bring us something to look forward to, look back on and provide our lives with a colorful backdrop. So, enjoy ALL the seasons of YOUR life and stay "cool" this summer!
