I need to at first let you know that I have nothing against fall. In fact, I like fall for sweaters, boots, pumpkin, coffee, cinnamon, Thanksgiving, scarves, brisk air, etc. But what I don’t like is when people rush fall to get here. Please stop! All you are doing is rushing summer away, and that, in my humble opinion, is a crime. Summer is just too lovely too push out the door so hap-hazardly. I agree sometime it is just too hot and too sticky, believe me I do, I live in a house without air conditioning. But there are so many wonderful things about summer that I can forgive the hot, sticky mess that it can be.
- Food:
- So much cooked on the grill
- Fresh vegetables from the garden
- Fresh peaches from the orchard
- Popsicles (which I did slow down on, in order to not become diabetic)
- Eating at least 1/3rd of meals outside
- Finding berries
- Activities:
- Running
- Biking
- Walking
- Kayaking
- Swimming
- Hammock Reading/Napping
- Hiking
- Frisbee
- Randomness:
- A messier house (due to running shoes, beach towels, life jackets, etc.)
- Sunsets
- Lazy dogs
- Drinking tons of water
- Watching water, lakes, oceans, one of my favorite views
- Mountains, my other favorite
- Never caring when I have wet hair
- Longer days
So I do agree that we can look forward to fall, but tread carefully winter is quick to follow fall. Enjoy summer while we have it.
