Summer time

Summer time, time, time ~ and the livin's easy
The fish are jumping now ow ow ow
You feel it comin' on and the cotton's high
O! So high...
You know...~

OK! Nuff of that. Good old song though.
Always have the 'Janis Joplin' version going off in my head, but dig Billie Holiday's just as well.

June 21 = 1st day of summer. I do believe the frost is out of the ground, now people! [Big smiles, just for you!]

And to think ~ just 3 weekends ago I was cold! Snuggle up cold! Shutting up all the doors and windows, cold. Pulling on fleece ware and sweaters, cold. Digging in and gritting my teeth ~ dead set against turning on the furnace, of all things- cold! At the end of May - Amazing!

NOW it's the grand opposite!
Begged a couple elders from church to help me hoist A/Cs into the windows here. Bless their hearts! Had those little Rosanne Adan-Adanna sweat balls hanging off of their noses in T-minus 10 minutes of getting here, matched the one I was sporting, yesterday. lol!

Thanking God all morning long for the little shower he sent our way at 3:00 am. Not only cooled things down a bit but had that bonus, fresh rain smell, to go with the blessing. Hummm. That reminds me of a quote from one of those links I just pasted...

“Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain� ~ Billie Holiday

2 good things about summer, you know you love 'em when you can get 'em, and thats: Rain and Romance!
Um-hum!
Go on.
Add to the list if you want...!?
Ignore the sweat balls and tell me what your favorite summer things are....?
Double dog days dare you2!

Not haivng to scuba dive with a ton of wetsuit on is always nicer in summer.

Love the SUNSHINE and HEAT

Summer means watermelon and hot dogs and SUN SUN SUN I love the sun. Summer means sleeping in and lazy non-scheduled days....less hectic and more spontaneous.

Elders with sweatballs huh?? Im pretty sure they get bonus points for that.....

summer time means days at the lake (which I'm missing dammit) and lots and lots of fresh fruit (which I'm missing, cuz Alekx says it has to much sugar in it) And grillen baby. We love to grill in the summer (which I'm missing, cuz they don't grill here)

Dammit I wanna go home now. whaaaaaaaaaaaa LOL
