Want to join in? Go here to learn how and to view the weekly list Small Talk Six topics for 2009.
Today’s topic is “6 things you’ll miss (or won’t miss) about summer.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .
This one is going to be an easy list for me since I am sitting here dripping in sweat and working through a sinus headache. Although I cannot wait for autumn to arrive, I will do my best to think of at least one thing I’ll miss about summertime.
Here are my six:
1) Here in Massachusetts, the humidity is dreadful sometimes. It could be just 70 degrees and you can still feel all sticky. I will not miss the humidity!
2) I will not miss the bugs who manage to find that tiny little hole in the window screen and get into my house.
3) I will not miss the allergies. I can’t win here. When it’s dry and breezy, the pollen kills me. When it’s rainy and muggy, the mold kills me.
4) I will not miss the landscaping company who comes almost daily to mow the vast lawn for our group of townhouses. The mowers are so loud when we have the windows open that we can’t hear each other speak without raising our voices, the twins have trouble napping through it, it drowns out the television, and I just can’t hear myself think sometimes. They need to hire more people so they can finish in one or two days.
5) I won’t miss the gigantic electric bill from running the air conditioner, ceiling fans, and window fans 24/7.
6) When my son Jake starts school this fall, I will miss him keeping the twins occupied in the mornings so I can lie in bed for an extra 20 minutes and mentally prepare myself for what’s to come that day. I told you I could think of at least one thing I would miss.

I’m with you on the heat and high A/C bill!
Oh I hate humidity.
I agree with the humdity and the bugs! This summer has been a killer for both.

I’m with you on these! Especially the humidity! It’s pretty sticky here in PA too!
I am so there with number six.
The electric bill is out of control but worse in winter when I try to keep my toes from freezing.
I hear you on the humidity.
I will not miss the bugs either!!!
We have year ’round allergies so we can never win. I won’t miss the humidity either.
I hear ya on the pollen and mold thing. Plus, I live by farms and when they are working in the fields, everything is like a million times worse.
Have a great Saturday!

I forgot about the electric bill! Winter time in AZ is perfect! I’m looking forward to the cooler weather!
I won’t miss that electricity bill either. But I will miss summer.
Good riddens to the humidity and bugs! But there are so many other things I’m sad to see end. I’m not quite ready for summer to be over yet!
Ok, yes, the electric bill is out of control but then I feel like the winter just brings huge heating bills so I can never really win. Any souther cali folk want to weigh-in here? LOL
Not sure they are still the lazy, hazy days of summer, but I will miss them:-)
God Bless,
Susan
