Maybe the changing seasons were designed for those of us with AADD.

And plus, if you procrastinate long enough like I'm prone to do, it becomes too late to do that task you've been avoiding giving you a season's worth or reprieve. Or so I've been told.

well, if it's a seasonally specific chore, it could buy you about 9 months...

Don't go all negative already!

I plan to squeeze all the outdoor activities in while the weather is still warm!

I'll be autocrossing through october! I'm headed up to Gary Indiana on sunday for one.

I plan to cram in so much activity by the time winter comes I will be looking forward to the rest!

Have to agree with MS , The land of pleasant living - gives us a chance to enjoy each season . I m still not ready for the heat to go away , I want a couple more of those 100 degree days. The kind that make everyone notice
slows things down a bit one more serving please...

Then we'll serve up some crisp fall 55 degree mornings , pleasant afternoons.

Winter comes to Maryland and thankfully relatively short lived , most of the time you can still wash your car on a December Sunday morning.

Looking forward to meeting some local enthusiast in a couple weeks

Don't forget Indian Summer--we might see 100 degrees in late Sept.

You mean summers over????
Guess I have to check the calendar more often instead of the weather reports.

Nope according to the calender two more months down here .

It will be nice to use the yard again , possibly get some projects done.

summer eye candy will be surely missed.

Finally strapless minidresses are mainstream. Never thought I would live to see this day, they are everywhere, even on older women.

Every variation, tube tops, and short miniskirts,spaghetti strap sundresses, backless, halter tops all of it.

Even my dates are showing up in these, and it is much adored.


All of this, gone in winter.
