The Joys of Summer

I have said before that fall is my favorite season. I like the crisp weather and the feeling that the world is on the move again.

I feel most energetic in the fall, most creative and productive and inspired. I fall in love in the fall. Not every fall, of course, but always in the fall. Now that it’s Labor Day, I say bring it on!

But there are certainly things that I will miss about summer (not that it’s totally over yet): fireflies; bullfrogs and toads; hamburgers on the grill, and Millie napping in the tall grass nearby while I cook them; long, lovely sunsets; shorts.

I don’t want to keep any of us from getting on with this last long weekend of summer. So just tell me: What joys will you miss about summer? Post below. Have a great Labor Day and not too much rain on the Gulf Coast.
