How much do we love summer? It’s certain that we all feel varying degrees of enthusiasm for the season. Some may live to revel in the warm sunshine, while others might prefer a cooler climate, even to the extent of pining for snowy picture-postcard  scenes straight out of Currier and Ives. One thing’s for sure, we could sure do without as much snow as we sometimes get at the worst of times.

Something that we should all be able to agree on is the fact that the nice weather sure makes it easier to get around to do fun and exciting things. Whether visiting friends and family, going to the seashore or nearby woodlands, there is plenty to do here in this beautiful and environmentally diverse part of the world.

Think of it. We are blessed with such a rich variety of natural wonder and pulchritude in our surroundings, it’s almost a shame that we cannot share it with everyone, nationwide.

Of course, we encourage visitors to come and see what we are always talking about when we brag about our lovely environs.
But sometimes the thought can come to us that maybe it is best to keep such a good thing a bit of a secret, so that it shouldn’t be spoiled by the rough treatment of outsiders.

Such selfishness is beneath us, though, and we should continue being generous about it. As we bid farewell to summer once again, let us bear in mind that the great seasonal cycle brings beauty and splendor to us on a year-round basis.

So let’s get those snow shovels out of the basement and polished up for winter.
