Summer Heat

I love the summer sun.
The yellow-white ball of it beaming light and heat down until it feels like pressure on your skin. Your temperature rises. Your skin reacts over time. You sweat. You drink fluids and bask like a lizard warming through. Ahh, it's good for you too. Vitamin D without supplements going directly into your system. Hot and sticky and drippy and flushed.
I'm in shorts and a t-shirt now, but earlier working outside in pants and boots... hair wet and slick, my shirt front damp, rivulets ran from behind my ears and from my forehead. An almost perfect summer day.
Yes, I was wet and sweaty, but it was good. I worked outside, I accomplished a task and enjoyed the work. I mopped my brow more than once and stood back satisfied and fulfilled and reminded every moment, that it's not winter.
Oh god I'm so glad it's not winter.
Go outside. Bask, and enjoy, and remember (George R.R. Martin fans), Winter is coming.
