Summer

Kathryn

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I grew up in a little village where there were about 8 people in my age group in total. The warm summer nights when we could sit out as long as we liked were lovely. 15 years old and in love with life. We'd play cards, drink a few beers, smoke a few joints and make fun of each other. Lying in the grass, staring at the stars, speculating about the world and our place in it.

I always loved that part of the sky never darkened during the summer.
And don't forget the fireflies! I saw them again in my yard but prior to moving from Texas to Ohio I hadn't been seeing much of them.

Summer's at its height for those in the Northern Hemisphere.

This is by far my favorite season. I can wade into a lake without concern for temperature, vegetables are growing, animals are everywhere...

What's your favorite thing about summer?
Long days.
Comfy temps.
Verdant grounds.
Engine shows.
Fresh pesto.
No salt on the roads.

The seemingly endless hours of daylight; though we’re well past the peak of that now.

Swimming in the mixed pond at Hampstead. In winter I use the more Spartan men’s pond, but in summer I go with my partner to the intimate mixed pond where the trees and vegetation overhang the water, and families of ducks and moorhens venture out from the banks.

Summer fruit; cherries, peaches, plums and raspberries, some of the latter from our allotment.

Having the windows at home open all day and night; even when the neighbours are up late and noisy, it’s life, bring it on.

London, outside the tourist packed centre, is half deserted and the roads are empty during the school holidays when people are away. It’s current 7.30 on Sunday morning and the usual background hum of traffic from the North Circular Road is silent.
 
Thunderstorms! I absolutely love them. But that's about it, at least this year.

We had that awful heat-wave—which, incidentally, combined with the hot-flashes I’ve been having, made it all feel much worse—so I ended up spending a lot of time on Zillow looking at potential places to live far, far north of here.

But yeah, I'll take the thunderstorms any day (tornados need not apply).

It's been warmv/ hot for a few weeks now, getting hotter each day. Today will be the hottest day of the year so far, edging up to 39c (102f). Too hot for me, i did outside chores before 8am, now I'm staying indoors for the day.
