Only 45 days to go...

'As my dad used to say “don’t wish your life away”.'
My Mum used to say that, honeyrose!

Although this heat is draining.

Every winter I wish so badly for more light and some warmer days.

There is no way I will diss summer when it arrives. The light, the long nights. If it's too hot, I can go with it and rest.

But I do really feel for those GNetters who have heavy caring duties in this weather

I would have 8 months of Autumn, 2 of winter, 1 of Spring and 1 of Summer. The only reason I would have one month of summer would be to shut up the whinging sun worshippers who will get to the end if this hot summer and still turn round and say, "We haven't had any decent weather this year." My elderly mum is and always has been a sun worshipper so I can confidently say whenever it is a slightly dull or cooler day she will forget the scorching temperatures and heatwaves and moan.

The first signs of autumn (e.g. leaf fall) begin in July where I live. I like seasons and missed them when I was in the tropics where it was always hot and always wet, the only variation being hotter and wetter.

I get tired of the darkness of winter and love the long light of summer but otherwise seasons and weather can just get on with their endless changes. There is always something new to look forward to and find. 🌾 🍁 🍃 ❄️ 🌦️ 🌼

Close to my feelings Bukkie !
I might extend it to 3 months of Spring , 1 month of Summer, 4 months of Autumn….oh dear I’d better rethink that!
4 of Spring (of the March -May sort) ,max 2 months of Summer - the sort where it rains at night but you can plan picnics, weddings, summer fêtes with impunity, 3 of Autumn, season of mists and mellow fruitfulness etc and I’ll be brave and say 3 of Winter just so that I can get my moneys worth out of my lovely huge all-enveloping (and covering ) woolies.
But on condition it is cold and crisp, with a dusting of snow on Christmas morning, no fog, no black ice and no 40 days and nights of rain.
Is that too much to ask?

I am looking forward to September too. I love that month as the weather is more manageable for me but this year I have another reason.
Yesterday was my youngest GD's last day at Primary School. I worked out that with 5 children and 9 GC I have spent 34 years taking and collecting from various Primary Schools. Come September my aged car and I can have a breather.

Ooh, I love everyone dividing up their calendars as they choose, may I please bag 3 x spring months, 1 x summer, 5 x autumnal and 3 winter ones!
At a push, I'll trade my summer one for another winter if anyone wants it?

I’ll have your summer one .I’ll have 1 of spring, 1 of Autumn, 10 of summer. I’d gladly give all the winter ones away .
Oh if only.
