Summer Lovin

Can it just be summer all the time?

Seriously.  I know that I've written several posts about how important the seasons are and how they indicate change and yadayada, but seriously.  SUNSHINE.  Sunshine is all I need.

Clouds make me claustrophobic--especially when they create that horrible overcast whitish-gray shroud over us.  It's like they're blocking us out, the whole state of Ohio, from the rest of the world, from the rest of the universe.  It's depressing.  And I tell myself over and over that the sun is still shining above the clouds.  But I'm still at the point where every day the sky is overcast, I am tempted to get on a plane and fly somewhere just so I can transcend the misery.

Don't get me wrong, not all clouds are awful.  Some clouds have character, like angry storm clouds or white fluffy ones just out for a leisurely afternoon stroll. . .in the sunshine, or the kind that look like the wallpaper in Toy Story.

Mostly, I just love sunshine and summer. This is me:

Put me in summer and I'll be a. . .happy person!
