The weather lately has made me crave summer; I have gone to the beach a couple of times since the weather has warmed up and I even got in the water, something I have never attempted before May. It is not only the not having to work in the summer that makes me enjoy summer though. The warm weather, sunny days, barbque, and sitting outside in the evenings are what I enjoy so much during the summer. The thing I enjoy about south Texas is that the weather gets warm early and it is so easy to think it is summer, when in reality we have thirty six school days until summer vacation. We shall call this the pre-summer bonus.
But, there are also things I enjoy about this pre-summer bonus of south Texas. Camping in the summer is great, except here when the weather is ninety degrees at night. So, camping in the pre-summer bonus is wonderful because the nights are cool and the days are warm, but not miserable. I have inquired of people lately if they try to get out in the lovely weather we get to enjoy so early and the thing I have noticed most is that few people here take advatage of the nice days they get in the spring. I suppose that since the weather is warm for most of the year here it is easy to forget that some places in the country are still getting snow and cold weather.
