Summer Can Be A Bummer
Of course summer can be lots of fun but to be honest, it is also accompanied by stuff I really don't like much such as:
- Bees - I hate bees mostly I hate the yellow jacket and wasp kind of bees that really seem to want to get me no matter what I am doing
- Weeds - The darn weeds grow everywhere. If you could win an award for thickest tallest weeds we would win but I've got them covered now - the natural way
- Ants and Mosquitos and the damn beetles are everywhere. I swear these bugs are all playing some insect game where whoever makes it into my house wins. Not cool. I hate mosquito bites and I spend April to October keeping ants as far away from my house and yard as possible. Not an easy task, there is never one ant. Ever. These guys really bug me.
- Sunburn - Sunburns are not cool. They hurt. They damage your skin and sun block to my face, neck and everywhere on my body is a definite summer requirement.
- Wet Towels - Yes, wet towels absolutely everywhere. We all use about two towels each, you know one to sit on even on lounge chairs, then one to dry off with and wrap around your shoulders. Lots of wet towels.
- Shorts and bathing suits - ready or not the heat is here and you may feel self conscious or underdressed, but you just have to go with it.
- Heat - remember all winter when you complained it was too cold - well now it's just too hot!
- Thunder and lightning storms can get seriously scary, especially when they pop up flooding streets and roadways, knocking out the power (no cable!), bringing down trees and even starting structure fires.
- Electric bills are sky high because, well the air conditioner has to be running because, it's so hot out. Remember Winter when we said it was too cold, yeah.
- Muggy, humid uncomfortable weather that makes hair frizz and people grumpy, yeah that's a lot of fun. Not.

Summer is the season I love to hate. So many things about the time of year that I think makes it my favorite (OK that's another blog post titled: Best Things About Summer)
Yet there are at least 10 things I hate about summer. I can't wait until it's freezing cold and snowing just so I can miss summer again!
Do you have a favorite season or a complaint about summer, please share with us too!

The beach in the Fall is perfect. In Florida. I always loved the beach in every season before I moved down South but now I have discovered I must be solar powered. There is nothing like the ocean, the sand, the amazing sea shells, the sky, the overwhelming feeling that you can leave everything behind and just look out on the horizon that goes on forever..... for just a little while at least.

Your pets will always listen to you. Whether you need to vent or cry. Laugh or sing out loud at something silly. Figure out your next move or confess something no one else knows. They will be looking you in the eye. Letting you be you. They just look at you all wise and loving. A snuggle, a paw and a wink of an eye and everything seems better already.
