Summer is drawing to a close. In its place winter will soon come with snow, frigid weather, and icy roads. So before I become too depressed about the upcoming horrid weather, I thought I’d recap on my favorite things of summer.

· Clear Roads: Driving during the winter can be dangerous, nerve-wracking, and stressful. But during the summer, you can drive with a care-free attitude and just enjoy the ride and the weather.

· The Sunshine: When winter comes, I will no longer be able to feel the warm sun. Quite depressing, if you ask me.

· Working in the Garden: One of my favorite summer pastimes is working in the garden—all equipped with mosquito protection. There is just something very therapeutic about it.

· Bodies of Water: Maybe I should specify: swimmable bodies of water. There is nothing better than spending the better part of a whole day lounging at the beach or at a lake.

· Light Clothing: A t-shirt and shorts do not go a long way in the winter time, but they are perfect throughout the entire summer.

· Flip Flops: The official summer shoe will have to be put back into the closet or in the box that gets shoved under your bed to be forgotten until the sun decides to get a little warmer.

· Lowered Windows: All it takes is a nice warm breeze to just make my day.

Even though winter looms in the near future, summer will always be there waiting to return. But then again, I guess winter has its good points too.
