If summer falls on a weekend, let’s have a picnic.
Henry James probably had it right when he said that the two most beautiful words in the English language are “summer afternoon.” --Phillip Hamburger
(reverse SAD, summer depression) Summer weddings, holidays, visitors staying, summer clothes, school sports, picnics—all I want is less light, a little comforting cold weather and to stay indoors, pretending it’s winter. Maybe others will not appreciate that some of us really do like to keep the overcoat on in the house, that salads lack passion, that cold has its comforts, that morning rain is bliss. Afraid of sunlight, scared of blue skies, dreading long evenings; but once the clock goes back, the fear begins to ebb and darkness brings such relief. –Rev. Fr. A. J. Butler
