It’s Not Over Until it’s Over

By Carol Meyer

When I posted how much I love summer to Facebook a few weeks ago, I expected everyone to "like" the post.  

Who could possibly prefer snow to sunshine -- shoveling, pulling on heavy winter clothes and boots, unearthing the car, and the dirty snow that lines the streets soon after every snowfall to long and sometimes lazy days filled with sunshine, vibrant flowers, and trips to the beach, followed by long summer nights with crickets and peepers sounding their songs?  And when it does rain, the grass is green and gardens flourish.

Well, was I mistaken.  Even my own sister thinks I'm crazy!  While some of my Facebook friends truly love summer best despite its often high temperatures as I do, others said they actually prefer the white stuff, including shoveling.  And one or two posted that they really, really don't like summer!!!!

To each his or her own, but I intend to enjoy every last day of summer right up until September 22.

The only thing I can say is, I hope I don't hear any complaints from "those" people when winter arrives! Let's pick our favorite season and leave it at that.

In the meantime, I think almost everyone enjoys a crisp fall day!

What is YOUR favorite season?
