SOLERA DIAMOND VALLEY | JUNE 2017 5
I don't have a favorite season. I love them all for different reasons.
Winter has Christmas. Spring feels like renewal and awakening.
Autumn brings out the best colors.
And then there's summer. Here are five things I love most about it:
• The great outdoors. Everything opens up in the summer.
From restaurant patios to music festivals, everything we do
inside gets some fresh air.
• The beach. Sun, surf, sand. Nothing can compare.
• Longer days. Although waking up is the worst, I love longer
days for extended time on the golf course. I tend to play later
so no one can see how bad I am.
• Vacation time. When you're an adult (and ideally without
school-age children), you can take time off and travel
whenever you want. There's something so classically
American about the summer vacation.
• The smell of BBQ. I love that no matter where you live, if you
step out of your home on any given Saturday in the summer,
you can smell someone grilling outdoors. It's my favorite
summer smell.
Share with me your favorite reasons for loving summer and we
will post them in the next issue of The View.
