Although I thank our Lord for all of the seasons that He has so graciously granted us, there is something really special about the summer. It's not just another pretty face or just another face in the crowd. It masterfully masters its season, taking a different road than the winter. It has too. It's Julian date signifies one of the chameleons of the four seasons. This majestic belle is gender friendly, neutral, closes the gap between sunshine and rain while offering a connotative language that's unmistakable: beauty and excitement. What a potent recipe for a season. Summer's got all the answers for its season. It more than makes its case for being the most spectacular time of year.

This is just one of the gambit of activities that the arced specter of wintertime just wouldn't allow. Focus is now centered predominately on outdoor jaunts rather than indoor preoccupation. And after those scorching summer days, oh, can hardly wait for the cool draft of those cool romantic summer nights.
