Southern Summers

I have lived in the south my entire life.  I am proud of my southern roots.  They run deep, real deep.  However, I must say that Southern Summers are getting a little rough.  Regardless of global warming, the greenhouse effect, El Nino, La Nina, or just the fact that I am getting older, and am a little on the fluffy side; its hot.  I can be a meteorologist from about mid May til October...Hot Hazy and Humid with a chance of afternoon and evening thundershowers, some possibly sever.

Southern Summers make you appreciate Southern falls, and winters, well when we have winters, some years that particular season is a figment of the imagination.  As I am sitting at my desk praying that one the the boys did not inadvertently leave a crayon on the car seat to melt in the sun; I am mentally on the beach, watching the sunset, cool breeze (and no bugs) blowing by me.  All this is occurring in my head while I wear a hoodie, and my tried and true flip flops and shorts, happily listening to the sound of the tide roll in.  Or better yet clad in blue jeans and boots, a comfy shirt and hat, while riding through the woods on a cool crisp autumn day.   AHHHHH cool thoughts.  Now to walk out in the 100+ degree heat to go home.
