Because I do not like hot weather, summer is my least favorite season. But there are still things I enjoy about it, and surprisingly, some of them are specific to this sweat-soaked state in which I live. So here are some thoughts on summer’s first day:

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new family member! How wonderful to introduce him to everything you love in the state, especially those swallow-tailed kites.
ReplyDeleteI saw your facebook posts ...Congrats! Parker is so beautiful! Hope the family is doing well. Great post! I see Swallow-tailed kites at Flatwoods a lot. They are so smooth as they fly. And the smell of orange blossoms in Dade City as I ride past a dozen or so orange groves is priceless. I will never tire of that sweet smell.
