Our mid to late springs and summers are my favorite time here. Of course, come winter, I'm depending on your blog and other Southern blogs to get me through.Alanahttp://ramblinwitham.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-1198538134697409022017-07-09T19:34:54.225-05:002017-07-09T19:34:54.225-05:00Yes, 75-80 sounds pleasant indeed.

I can appreciate the poet's sentiment of awaiting "an autumn more appropriate".

I like summer thunderstorms, of which we have had a fair share recently, because they promise relief of humidity and heat. I wish it were 75-80 F in New England all year long.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242364668293349799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-70553400573491346312017-07-09T15:43:44.038-05:002017-07-09T15:43:44.038-05:00I was summer born too, but born in England, where ...I was summer born too, but born in England, where the summers are very different to the Texas summers! I do find the Texas summers rather difficult to get through, and my poor garden tends to suffer because of it! I do enjoy a good Texas thunderstorm though.

Some years we have had July showers in So Cal but I don't see any such thing in the forecast this year. Just came thru a 3 day wave of 104 degree temps.Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.com
