You aren't in Britain then?

I assign cold, wet summers. Not only has it been much more comfortable than I expected/feared, but the Honeysuckle is covered in flowers because the constant rain has beaten the greenfly into submission. And Honeysuckle belongs in The Shire because it smells soooo good! Kind of like a mixture of warm cowsheds and sugar.

Ducklings. They are so adorable. (Don't tell me it's the wrong time for this, it's my ducks fault, not mine.)

Spontaneous late-night outdoor singing. Being able to sit on pleasantly warm pavement and listen to someone sing and play songs they've written is lovely.

Night strolls.

Watching really good Rugby when the ball is run with not just kicked ... it is just such a great game when played properly.

Going for a long weekend color tour and hitting the colors just at their peak; finding a nice, not too pricey motel; happening upon a curving road we never had been down before, surrounded by maples, oaks, and other trees in full fire of fall color, and it goes on for miles.

I assign staying up late and getting up late the next morning because there's nothing you need to get up for. Very rare these days. *sigh*
