They call it June Gloom but it isn't making me sad or unhappy! I remember my school days and the disappointment I felt when the first few weeks of summer vacation often suffered from overcast skies and even some sprinkles. These days, I welcome the extra respite from what I know the depth of the summer months will bring - Hot, hot, and more hot! Too bad we need the sunshine to make the crops grow because I would find it quite easy to fight my gloom with more June Gloom!
When California had some unseasonably hot weather earlier in the year, I figured it was time to resort to stove top, grill, and barbecue for the summer months. I'm enjoying being able to turn on the oven and bake or prepare a roast . . . and it's the middle of June! A friend at daily Mass and I have an ongoing competition about who is praying harder for THEIR favorite weather. Since it IS the middle of June, he just smiles and says, "I can wait for the summer heat. It's all stacked in my favor, you know!" Sigh . . . he is right but I'm enjoying the pleasure of crisp mornings, surprise drizzles, and cold nights for as long as it lasts!
