You know the weather has started to turn when you've become too familiar with the smell of your own sweat. You're rolling along through spring, perhaps sneezing occasionally, but fresh as a daisy. Then one day, you're on your morning coffee walk and you realize you've become damp, and that shower you took 20 minutes ago is null and void. The weather is finally catching the vibe and heating up, and you're cooking right along with it.
There's a joy to the beginning of warm weather season. You start planning barbecues, beach days, and ice cream cones. It's a looser time, with fewer expectations and more fun. But there's the hidden discomfort that we always forget about during the 3 other seasons. The need for multiple clothing changes throughout the day. The frizzy hair. The need to sleep with one leg out of the covers. But, at least in this part of the world, we take it as it comes. Because it only comes once a year.
