Summer’s Officially Here

I wrote officially there in the title of this piece because it’s been feeling very summer-y for quite a long while here in Central Florida.

I’d be willing to bet that you’ve noticed the same thing wherever you are. The Planet is most definitely warming and you can feel it no matter which corner of the Orb you’re living in.

Not getting on my soapbox today, just saying that it’s hot here where I am and I’m longing to see some more moderate temps. If you’re singing from that same sheet of music, I feel ya!

Now, to be clear, I don’t stop enjoying outdoor activites while Apollo is working overtime. But when it’s blistering-hot, I do throttle back a bit. No long hikes for this puppy for a little while.

So here’s to Autumn and the cooling off we look forward to each year. For this overheated, Nature-loving fellow, that can’t come soon enough!
