Ok so what is the one thing that will signify to you that "Summer is Here"?

When I am a fulltimer at the Lake this year. Might make Summer a little late for others this year.

You did not say what your thoughts were. Is this a difficult or trick question? I hate it when folks don't give their opinion before asking an opinion question. Kind of make me feel like I am being set-up for the wrong answer. Am I paranoid? Uh well I don't know. Why do you ask?

Officially Summer is considered the months of June, July and August.

It is debated whether it starts in early or late June.

So lets see, you are 4 months awayt. Does this answer your question? I still have snow on the ground here in Northern Virginia. I have no sympaty for you what-so-ever. Maybe you should suffer some and wait another year and a half or so. LOL

Raking the leaves that accumulate at our cabin during the winter while we're away.

A little paranoid Feb?
Actually I was taking some time thinking, and then was called away from work and was not able to post.
The first time I dip my toes in the water while sitting on the dock when the water doesn't feel like ice. The distance sound of kids laughing and splashing. The smell when you step outside and how perfect the temperature is knowing it will heat up as the day goes on. And just like that ballpark commercial, it ain't summer till the dawgs hit the grill.
