How do I know it's summer (despite what the calendar says....)

Because when I hear this song I just crank it up and sing along (loudly).  Of course, if the truth be told - I do that even in the winter.  LOVE this song.



Because I got to sleep a few extra minutes this morning - and spend a lot of time lounging around reading the paper, drinking coffee and checking out blogs (which, since Big Brother locked down blog access, really helps keep me in the loop - damn you Big Brother) before having to get dressed and mosey into work.  Why?  No trip to school!  Which, as I've mentioned before takes a full hour round trip.

Because I don't have any one trying to take the computer with the excuse of "homework."  Since he's had it for most of the day, he knows better than to even ask.....

Because the baby bunnies that are running rampant are getting much bigger.  Sorry no picture - they refuse to pose for me - worse than children!  Divas, that's what they are!  Next they'll be asking for a better type of clover....

Because it's HOT.  Although, now that the sun has gone down it's much cooler.  Gotta love NC for that - back home, even after the sun went down it stayed HOT and HUMID - never any relief.  EVER.

Because at work - it's deader than dead.  Everyone is on vacation.  The phones aren't ringing and the email isn't pinging.  Do you know I only had ONE work-related email today?  ONE?!!!  Do you KNOW how long that makes the day (especially when you can't access blogs?!)?  It's torture I tell you!  Total torture!  Especially on a beautiful Friday.....

Because I've got dueling lawn-mowers going in either ear as the neighbors battle it out for the best lawn ever!  I'm hoping they'll get sick of ours and come over and work on it.....they really need to do something about all these weeds.....

Because shorts and sandals (and more all kinds of unfortunate outfit choices) are on display.

Because Blogging-On-The-Back-Porch is back!

Sweet Summertime.
