Summer season

I live in a four season state and I always anticipate the arrival of Summer. The season of flip flops, shorts, tank tops, swimming, fishing, bbq's, Bon fires and camping.  The smell of fresh cut grass and a good rain fall! I always look forward to all of that.
I used to live in Southern California for a good part of my life, but the fast city life just didn't seem to be for me! I love everything country and enjoy the peacefulness of the country life and small towns. Heck, the county I live in doesn't even have a freeway that goes through it!! I think I was meant to live in the country. It's in my blood! My ex whom grew up on a farm in the country thinks I'm nothing but a city girl but what he doesn't realize is that in reality I grew up in the country but because I lived in the city for 11 years that I don't know anything but city life. But whatever I'm all country at heart and always have been! The city isn't for me at all. So he can think what he wants to think cause quite frankly I don't give a rats ass what he thinks! I do miss the convenience of living close to the ocean and the salty smell of it. But I also love lakes which doesn't have sharks in it😉lol.
Summer for me also now means 3+ miles of walking everyday. Which I'm starting at slowly but is going to become a yearly ritual for spring, summer and fall.....  Summer is by far my favorite season!! On the other hand I do enjoy fall. The crispness of the weather, the famous Indian summer weather that Michigan can get! The beautiful fall colors of leaves changing on the trees. Fall festivals, Cider Mills, Apple cider and all that goes with fall! It always fascinates me how the seasons can merge with each other to make a new season! Although when it comes to winter I love the prettiness of snow but  I hate the cold temperatures!!
So I am going to go outside now and enjoy the heat and take my furbaby for a relaxing walk. Enjoy the summer!
