Summer is coming

I like all weather for the most part (except January and February). I love late spring and late fall the most. I love the anticipation of things to come. The small leaves sprouting on the trees. The first time you notice you actually need get the lawn mower out. The tulips, then daffodils, then dogwoods, then summer blooms. The sun stays up longer, the days are warming up and you are shaking off your winter hibernation. Summer is great because there are so many things to do in St. Louis. Free concerts in the park, patio's with plenty of beer, or just a nice evening alone on the front porch. Summer is here and the living is easy.

Things I am looking forward to this summer: Tomatoes (I just had a mediocre one last night, why do I even bother?!), quiet morning walks to the farmer's market, lots of bike rides, not wanting to go to bed at 8pm because it has been dark for 3 hours, Colorado in a month, free concerts at the MO History Museum and Botanical Gardens, just taking advantage all the great things summer offers.

What is your favorite part about summer?

I am sure I will have a part 2 to this post in August about how miserable summer can get, but until then, I am living it up!
