A Letter to Summer

Here is the post I sent to the editor. Hope you enjoy it 😀.

Hello Summer, you sweet and beautiful season. You many grace some states year round, but for the states with four seasons you have been missed. You bring with you festivals and outdoor concerts. Backyard pools and water parks. Staycations and vacations. Summer, wow what a wonderful time of year.

Summer, your long days and warm nights allows for gatherings of the best kind. People celebrate their love with you. You grace indoor, but mainly outdoor weddings. People stand on the beach and commit their lives to each other in your breezy days. Dance across the floor with love in their eyes in your calm, night sky. What other season can say they have witnessed love so many times? Just you Summer.

Then you have the pleasure of smelling all the barbecue and citronella candles. Friends and families cheers to you. They plan all year just to spend the few glorious months with you. Summer, they invite you to cook with them, to laugh with them and to listen to all their favorites jams. I bet you know how to do the Cha Cha slide and every other hustle invented.

Summer, sometimes you throw us for a loop. What’s up with the extreme heat? We don’t like when our air conditioning runs nonstop. Or when we can’t go outside to bask in your glory for fear of heat stroke. And what about that tropical storm a few weeks ago? And now there is another one on the way. Can you not do that? We still love you Summer, but your unpredictability tests the bounds of our relationship.

Summer, we can’t live without you. Nor would we want to live without you. Thank you for being the time of year for so many great life experiences. I know we don’t have long before you pass the baton to Autumn. We will enjoy the rest of your days until we meet again June 20th next year. Much Love Summer 🧡💚

Sincerely,

All Who Love You
