Oh Those Summer Nights…
I think many of us take summer for granted. Too often we, in the Midwest, are complaining about the weather and how it can always be just a bit better. During the winter there is always the cold, dry air plus the terrible blizzards and snow storms. Everything is either hibernating or dead; very little life can be seen. On the other hand, during the beautiful months of the summer one can see fully bloomed floors, skittering mammals, and outstretched trees. The warm weather is inviting and sometimes emphasizes the wonder of a nice summer breeze. People are just much healthier during the summer. The sun can bring a person much need nutrients that help us to maintain good health. Winter, on the other hand, is dry and cold and most of the time it is dark, due to cloud-cover. No wonder many animals go into hibernation during the winter. So the next time you start to complain about how hot it is try to remember that it could be worse. Oh, how I’m going to miss summer.
