Summer in New England gets started, it seems, much later than in other places I've ever lived. Spring began June 15th, and ended with the beginning of Summer on July 5th. I hope Summer lasts longer than the two weeks we got last year. If it does, I may try to take the hard top off of the Jeep and drive very quickly between rain showers.It's easy to tell when Summer arrives here. The abundant wildlife (whose dead carcasses litter the roadways). The beautiful butterflies (stuck to the windshield and grille). The gentle hum of other insect life (as it prepares to feast on your exposed skin). The blossoming flora (causing itchy eyes, runny noses, and sore throats). And finally being able to rake the lawn instead of the roof of the house. Ah..... Summer! I'd better get busy stacking firewood close to the house......
