That was a beautiful post.
thank you!
You are 2 hours south of me and you have “summer”?
Dude, my furnace was on this morning when I woke up!
The Saginaw Bay area is still waiting for summer to show up...
We’re losing our country.
Used to have 3 favorite seasons. Fall, Winter, Spring. Never summer. Hot sticky Northeast summers. Now Winter is on my dislike list too. The cold never bothered me. But with age now it does.
Been there (back when you could just walk up to the thing and sit on one of the stones if you wanted to) done that.
I've been back in NJ for a week. Maybe this is really Seattle? Whatever, it's cool and rainy. So I'll be easing into the weekend at my cigar club.

I HATE the summer. Old or not. I like cold weather, not frying like an egg.
Great post!
I absolutely love summer.
I love seeing green everywhere, walking barefoot outside, seeing my kids biking past with bats and gloves or fishing poles and tackle boxes, hearing my kids laugh and play outside, breathing in sweet air that doesn’t freeze the lungs, eating supper while it’s still light outside, working in my garden, and everything else that goes with warm weather.
My plan was to permanently head south after college, met my winter loving husband instead. So now I just embrace summer while trying not to be sad over how short it is.
Yes! I love summer too, and you’re right. They get even more precious as we begin to sense that there’s fewer of them ahead of us. Every moment of summer should be savored!
Thank-you for the wonderful posting.
A time when things slow down.
Woohoo! Summer’s here! Now if it would just stop raining. We barely got spring here in New England.
Summer? Temps just dropped into the low 60s here, with a miserable drizzle!
Just remember:
To carpe diem, you must carpe ductum...or drive into town and buy the right stuff, wasting your diem!
