dreaminghopeAnother summer is coming. The signs are all around.
Last week we changed to cotton sheets (from flannel and jersey).
On Friday, we went out for ice cream because it was sunny and warm, not just because we were craving ice cream.
Yesterday I sat outside all afternoon without a jacket.
Soon the mornings will be warm enough that I will switch to my light summer robe and store my cozy flannel robe away for the season.
Soon there will be iced coffees, bar-b-ques, dinner salads, the Farmer's Market, sun dresses and tank tops.
I am actually not a huge summer fan, but I love watching and participating in the changes of seasons. I am fascinated by the multitude of signs that the wheel of seasons is always changing and never stops and is never quite the same. It is a wonder to me to notice how this summer is different from the last one, even as many of the markers are the same.

Date: 2004-04-11 12:34 pm (UTC)I got my summer hat out yesterday...tho I 'feel' we're still partially in spring; the salmonberries are still flowering and and the cherry blossoms on my street *just* bloomed. (tho they are apparently a late blooming variety)
the crows are also in mating season, which is hilarious.
I've also gotten restless lately...everything is stirring, it's great.
