The weather

This past winter was so mild that I posted my joy about the weather some months ago!  Well, currently the weather has been amazing; in fact, this summer has been one of the best that I can remember.  Very little if any rain, hot and humid, beautiful sunny days, and warm evenings.  The weather has been consistently beautiful since June!  We were expecting the summer to be poor since the winter past was mild.  But, no, incredibly dry and hot.  However, the cost to air condition and water the lawn has been a difficult pill to swallow!

Does the weather help our mood?  Does the good weather help educators to appreciate how fortunate we are to have our summer breaks?

In my community, I heard that some schools have already started the new year!  These students and teachers will get time added to their winter break at Christmas, and march break, etc.,

My family travel has always had to take place in the summer, during peak cost time.  It would have been nice to travel in the September / October time period when the weather was still very nice, a bit cooler, avoiding the humidity, and less costly to travel!

Something I can look forward to in a few years!
