Sniffing a Sad Farewell to Spring, and Cursing Under My Breath at Summer

Spring brought quite the bit of rain for a couple of weeks there.  There were warm days to talk about too but nothing in comparison to the hellish heat today and for the next two days.

Yep, Summer, my Nemesis is here.

It's time to say goo'day to my bees (aww, my bees) milling about new buds of Spring and instead, say hello to a robot who echoes my sentiment about Summer.

That sentiment of course is to drink myself into a stupor so I just have a hazy recollection of anything Summery.

Oh, allow this to serve as a PSA while I'm at it: the amazing Futurama starts back tonight at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central.

Happy Summer to all you fools out there who are loving yourselves right now!

And Boo Hiss from the rest of us.

Not My Jam

This is it.

I tried to stagger for a week and live in denial but yes, Summer happened on Tuesday last.  All that humidity, the tourists, the crazies and the general happiness by all, was too in my face and I could deny no more.

But here we are again, another Summer.

Summer is not my jam.

The nightmares in the garden are still around but instead of fairies fluting a tune to welcome the spring, they will now be guarding some tomatoes in the garden.

To "celebrate" Summer, I present you with a less than enthusiastic frog.  I may go even so far as saying that he's quite the little bitch.  I asked him nicely to please not jump on my camera or my person for that matter, while taking the picture.  He obliged but as you can see, it took all his strength to not stick it to me and my camera.

Thank you, frog.

Or perhaps he was cranky because it was hot? What right does a frog have to complain in his cool little pond in the company of lily pads?

I understand, frog.

Summer is brutal.

About Time

It was many months ago that Spring ended.  The mysterious plants in H1's pots grew full with green and lots of leaves and survived a very hot summer.

It was tough going for a while there with the steamy hell fire days threatening to wilt all the plants.

Here at the HOchieS' Bloggie Boo, I refused to put up a summer related theme.  It was not H1's idea as she loves the beast that is Summer.

So, so very long Spring! I hope to see odd flowers growing from the pot in the winter again as I did last snow storm.

Bye Summer, even though truly, I think you only left yesterday.

With blue skies and red apples, I welcome you, Autumn.  You have been here for some weeks now but Indian Summer is making a liar out of me and you.

The lone spider enjoying his time in the sun was rudely and without permission, photographed but he cares not.

A Life with Apples is a good one.

It's Over, Summer! Not so Warm Greetings, Fall

Fall's here!





It's time for all bits of summer to go away - the fireflies have retreated from dusk, and the bubbles no longer flit away and gleam under the sunlight.

The leaves are turning and falling, the air's cold (and not as crisp as it should be but really terribly cold) and probably signalling an early winter.

It's time to say goodbye to the raspberries on the bush, as they cling to a season past.

A lone brown leaf begins the passage to the earth, the first to go amongst his brothers among the raspberries that will no longer turn red.

Next Year It Is, Spring.... Welcome to this Year, Summer

We're not sure what will come of it next year but the purple flowers will continue to dance upon the pond surface, whispering communication about the beastie chewing creepy crawlies under the blue.





Hello Summer!

You're threatening to be hot your first official week after 3 weeks of virtually non-stop rain.

We're looking forward to all the things we promised BooHead - pool parties, fireworks, barbeques and running around in the sun.

There will be bubbles glistening in the sun, with gentle winds tossing them around and about on the blue skies.

A lone firefly gets caught in a bubble of darkness, and tries to shine his way out.

Goo'day & Good Riddance, Summer!

Another Summer has ended and 2008's proved not that bad, actually.
We had a month plus long adventure with CLee, not that many dog days, but no use of the pool which is a first in HOchie History.

So goo'd riddance but not really because this might be the last of it... thanks to the Large Hadron Collider. At least it's giving me two more months while it's in repairs to enjoy the beginnings of Fall. I'm not sure what the Holidays are looking like, if they're looking like anything but Black Holes but guess we'll have to see.

With all the economic instability and little personal sadness with a Budge who may move again, we're thankful for every day that comes where we're still here.

Hopefully we'll see Summer again, happier, with less to stress, carefree and complaining - about nothing serious.

Bleck! Summer!

H1 may not approve of this new layout but this is Summer to Or 2 right now. I detest it most days!

Who wants to be out of A/C with humidity that's in the 90s?

So here's the new layout of how I feel.

The sun hates me.

The temperature hates me.

The hanger-outers who crowd my train and my city streets hate me.

The noise until 3 AM because people have nothing better to do - they hate me.

And I hate it all!

Note:

Influenced by Jhonen Vasquez much? Meh, I started drawing a skull and that's how it came out looking...like a zim type head. Go figure.

Influenced by "The World Ends With You Much"? Meh, I started writing and it came out like graffiti type.

Ah well.
