Two more weeks of Summer. Say it ain’t so. Sigh.
I know those blistering hot days of Summer in the Southwest are not going to be missed, in favor of the mild winter alternative. The humid, drenching Southern and Eastern dog days can wag on down into a calm Fall transition. And California is the only place where Summer kinda grazes year round.
But for Northwesterner’s, Summer is golden. Even the two weeks of August Heat is tolerable considering the soon to come Gloom and Rain and Cold. Burrr. And Rain. Did I say Rain?
I love the rain, don’t get me wrong. It’s what makes this part of God’s Country so magnificently green and serene. But like I said, ‘Summer is Golden’. And it will be missed for a very long, long, long and yes, dreary, six or seven or eight months before it returns. Adieu warm weather.
Adieu Summer. Adieu.
Oh wait. We’ve got a few more weeks. Hey! I feel better already.
