Summer of 2012

I hate the end of Summer!

The weather is so beautiful, the crickets are singing their little hearts out, and the evening breezes make power walking so pleasant, but...

there's dread about the coming cold weather.

Perhaps if I watched football I'd be looking forward to the start of Fall, but I love Summertime!

So, in these last days of August, I'm writing to celebrate all the things I love about the summer months.

I love going outside and feeling warm.
I love not wearing long sleeves.
I love wearing sandals.
I love sitting on the patio on lazy summer nights.
I love lightening bugs.
I love picnics.
I love kayaking.
I love walking, especially evening power walks.
I love the beach.
I love sunset at 9:00 pm.
I love waking up to sunshine.
I love sundresses.
I love summer fresh vegetables.
I love summer flowers.
I love baseball.
I love going on vacation.
I love driving with the windows down.
I love eating crabs.
I love summer sleep-away camp.
I love long summer days and moving slowly.
I love outside concerts.

Feel free to add your own summer accolades - maybe if we make this list long enough, summer won't go away so quickly!  (I can dream!)
