I am grateful that I live in a place where we have seasons. Some places do not. I do think my favorite is definitely summer, however. I don't think I would totally mind if we skipped winter, either. Winter I like for about 5 minutes. I pretty much only tolerate it because it contains Christmas.
Recently I've noticed a lot of whining about the hot weather, and I am reminded of what I sound like during the winter. Ok, anytime the temperature drops below about 65. So at least you guys who are whining now will have no room to tell me to shut up when temperatures lower than 65 roll around. Continue whining...I'm going to need a lot of grace. ;)
I may have just a little bit of my father's Texan blood running in my veins. My dad is one crazy Texan. He doesn't start sweating until its about 150 degrees. And even then he is laughing at all the rest of us who are hospitalized for heat stroke. He can work outside in this heat and not blink. As long as he has a Dr. Pepper in hand.

I think this enjoyment of the hot weather is also stemming from the fact that I don't feel it necessary to take a jacket everywhere I go. I freeze in every restaurant or store I step into, so usually I take a jacket everywhere I go...from about September to April.
I've been enjoying this summer, and the sweltering temps, so much this year. As you can see from the pictures, we've pretty much turned to raisins in the pool. My kiddos are both at an age where the pool is fun. Last year I was pregnant, and then had a newborn. Newborns do not seem to appreciate sweltering heat. Neither do pregnant ladies. The kids are also doing more playing together this summer, which is good about half the time. The other half I'm having to restrain them.
As much as I hate to see it...the back to school signs are already up in stores. I would like to take them down, but that is probably frowned upon. This reminds me though, that as much as I love summer, and all the fun times I'm having with my family...each season is important. Some may not be as appealing to me, but they all serve their purpose. (I
think winter has a purpose...?) Now if I can just remember this in February...
