Summer and Me by Janet Lane Walters
 |
| Summer Sun |
The last time I camped, I ended up with pneumonia, so
camping is out. About fishing, I don’t think so. Once some nice friends brought
some fish they’d caught. I couldn’t cook them since they left the heads on and
all I saw was those beady eyes.
The only possible thing I like about summer is
my birthday but even that becomes boring at my age. How many times can you tell
people you’re twenty-nine? I guess that’s it for summer and me.

Janet, I can totally sympathise with your not liking the heat. I'm a redhead (gone grey now) and I have pale skin, and I burn too. Luckily, here where I live in the north of England, harsh sunlight is rarely a problem :) Summer is pretty mild and it's over only too quickly for me! Good to meet you through JQ's blog. Hope you're looking forward to autumn!
Hi Helena, Aha, I too am another fair-skinned lady who burns in the sun. I still remember my mom patting vinegar on that sunburn when I was a kid. I not only hurt, but I smelled like vinegar....ooohhh Thanks for stopping in Helena.
From one Janet to another, Thank you Janet for being my guest this week!
Hey, JQ. Nice to meet you Janet. Love the cat on the front of your book. More of a dog person, but his cat has personality. I too dislike summer. It's just gets too hot in Texas to be away from the AC for any time. Even getting in the car can be dangerous. Burning hands and legs and passing out from the 109 temp you inside car temp can reach. Eager for the fall, which doesn't come until almost November. Good luck with your book. :) I've shared.
Janet, Thanks for having me. Those of us with reddish hair do burn. I once had one so bad my mother put wet tea leaves over my body. Though my hair was red-brown, it is now white with a streak of blue.
Hey Marsha, 109 degrees in the car? Wow! When we visited the Southwest last summer, Vegas was 112 degrees when we landed. We chose the wrong time of year to go SW. Dumb northerners...We ended up spending more time in Colorado where it was cooler. But I'm glad we saw the desert and the national parks. Stay cool!!
Janet--I have never heard of putting tea leaves on a sunburn. At least they'd smell better than vinegar!!!
Evidently it has something to do with the tannin in the leaves. Maybe smelled better than vinegar but it was much messier,
Ha, Janet. Never thought about the mess using tea leaves.
