Ack, hate the snow and cold, though I do admit some snowy scenes are quite
beautiful and quaint, but for the most part, I can't stand the cold and
snow. Rain and thunder though, don't mind at all. Something soothing about
distant thunder and the patter of rain. I enjoy a good summer rainy day.

I also enjoy calm, relaxing summer days when the weather hits the 80's, not
stifling hot, but a gentle warmth on the skin, with a whispering breeze from
time-to-time. I like to hear the sounds of summer. The chirrup of crickets,
birdsong, sprinklers misting yards, the distant sound of children playing,
etc. Summer is my favorite time of year.

Lynda, if I looked in my poems I'd probably find more about nature and the
seasons than any other topic. I'm with you. I'd be lost without winter. I,
too, LOVE snowy days.

in my childhood. I'll see if I can find it and pot it here today under a new
thread title so it is no lost in the thread. The poem was published by the
Washington, DC chapter of Woman's Caucus for Art - probably around 1991. The
poem is a conversation between me and my father as we sat on the front porch
during a lightening and thunder storm in my childhood.
