I was having a tough time coming up with something to talk about in this week’s blog post.  I mean the weather has been wonderful this week and it has been more difficult to focus.  Even while I sit here and type this post, I can’t help but wish I was outside enjoying the end of summer.  By the way, summer officially comes to an end on Tuesday September 22nd.

Speaking of summer, with the exception of July when temperatures were just a hair under the average, the summer has been decidedly mild since May.

So far, the first 3 days of September have been about 3 degrees cooler than average, June was also almost 3 degrees cooler.  So if these first 3 days are any indication, summer is going to end very much like it has been…

Anyway, I have shared some weather jokes with you in the past… Perhaps I will share a few of my favorite weather books in the future.  For now here is one of my favorite weather poems.  Please take some time to enjoy the rest of your summer.

Weather Together

There are holes in the clouds
where the sun peeks through,
Patches of sky,
scraps of blue,
It’s raining rain
and bits of ice
bounce down like
tiny grains of rice.
This weather together
changes by the minute
And I can hardly wait
to walk out in it!
