Summer

Triple digit temperatures bake the atmosphere while wet blanket humidity embraces all who venture out on a Florida summer's day. A refreshing dip in a cold creek, lake or pool, with a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade, (perhaps even a nice cold beer) to quench a powerful thirst, are treats to be savored. This is summer. 6/16/21

despite the heat, It remains my very favorite of holiday. Probably for the nostalgia of my youth and also for my sun worshipping days!! Very nice.

Thank you, Andrea! I favor Autumn more than Summer. I can't stand the heat.

I wish ours was only 3 days. In Florida summer lasts about 6-7 months. Thank you for your comment, Jan!

Hello Kim … we are in the depths of winter and yearning for the sun, floods to pass, power to return, and trees cleared off the roads - oh for some of your Florida sun Kim - Lindsay
