Excellent question. This year summer seems to be going down with a fight, so I don’t think it’s crying. Though, I wonder if the first rain of spring is the sign that winter has given up. Reply
Oh, that is possible, the first rain may mean that winter has given up, I hadn’t thought of it that way. Reply
I do wonder about whether or not the seasons notice the passage of time. I wonder if the trees feel naked. Reply
I believe summer knows it returns; taking joy in what autumn has to offer, a supportive friend. Grin Reply

Not nude trees, I guess we will have to start rating mother nature XXX. :)
Oooh…don’t look at the bark!
I will try not to. :)
