dog days of summer

Ask not for whom summer tolls. It tolls for thee.

Changes of season is always nice, except when it comes to summer. I love the slower pace, staying up late, sleeping in, my birthday, and vacations. I abhor the heat. Sweat rolling down my back, difficulty breathing, hot cars.

We had record breaking heat this weekend. Saturday it was 99 degrees. We got to enjoy it at a T-ball game! There is something very depressing to me about stiffling heat in May. I just know we have a long summer ahead of us.

My parents are vacationing in Newport R.I. right now. This is where they met and lived as newlyweds. They called us yesterday to let us know that they were eating clam chowder by the water and it was 50 degrees outside! They said they could see their breath. I told them that I could see my breath, too in the form of steam!

I will pray for a better attitude...
