Yippee! Finally it's summer!(THE LAST LAUGH)
For those of us who live in the snow belt, where they slightly exaggerate in claiming "There's ten months of winter and two months of rough sledding," summer cannot come too quickly nor stay too long.
After each brutal Wisconsin winter, we just can't resist planting our flowers earlier than we should, hoping that those forecasting a late snow were dead wrong, only to find that instead it's our plants that are dead, wilted and hanging their heads low.
When the temperature is finally warm enough to wear shorts, to sit outside in the sun reading and to support plant life, we declare it's summer, no matter what the calendar says.

Just like a new leader can change things dramatically, so can a fresh new attitude, and that's what the arrival of summer weather brings.
Get ready!
That's not to say that all the livin' is easy once the warm weather finally rolls around. Much preparation precedes enjoyment.
