Summertime

*Sighs* Yes, much s I may wish to pretend otherwise, summer is definitely here, and here to stay. It's bright outside, there's lots of wildflowers and the occasional tall weed overtaking my itty bitty back yard, the bees have claimed a top corner of my window and keep flying into the screen, the maple tree looks like a big, bushy upside-down broom . . .

And it's too flipping hot to enjoy any of it.

There's also the twice-a-week finding of dead butterlies in the screen room, because they fly in the open door and can't get out agin . . . even though the thing's about a jillion times their size.

*le sigh*

So . . . summer. In Florida. With the beach forty miles away.And an allergy to bees.

I am so glad I'll be going to upstate New York this summer.

Still, at the same time . . . I can't bring myself to be too upset about it. Yeah, I am now addicted to sunscreen so I look okay in my dress for the pageant this summer, but I actually tend to like summer. THe lizards keep racing across my window, and they're so cute!

If only they'd let me take a picture.
