| thoughts from a cunning linguist | |
Most people I know simply love the summer. It's the sun, the heat, the beach, or outdoor sports. It's always something that inspires their summer swoons. I like the summer, too. I especially like the flowers and the smells and the people milling about. But somehow, I've always been more of an autumn or winter person. I like winter clothes (pants, sleeves, etc) and I like crisp air better. The only relic of summer I wish I could hold onto year-round would be my Birkenstock sandals. I guess it's like this: I like the sun, but I love the snow; I like the leaves on the tress, but I like them better on the ground; I like shedding my sweaters in the spring, but I like sweater weather in the fall more.
Gee, the more I write the more I think I'll have to ask Maurice if we can still be friends!

Posted by: Bush Whacker on May 20, 2003 11:58 PMThere are parts of Florida that are just gorgeous. So I guess that's one redeeming quality. :-) I don't think I could live in the middle of the state though - no ocean or breeze. It would just be hot year round.
