Sweet Summertime!





I know I complain about the heat since I'm a snow doggie but there are some things about summer that are terrific.

Take songs about summer, for instance. Who can resist them?

Summer is such a fun season and only lasts such a short time, especially in Canada where I live. It's the time to have fun outdoors, go to festivals, fall in love, take it easy and relax with a book and your favourite drink. We must embrace it.

When I listen to these summer songs, I forget all about the heat and fall in love with summer just like the composers who were inspired by our short, sweet season.

Enjoy our summer, everyone! Winter will be here soon enough. (Hooray!!! OOPS! Sorry! I'm trying to curb my winter enthusiasm. No one else seems to share my winter passion, except for my pal, Rumpy)

Here are three of my favourite summer tunes. Hope you enjoy them, too.






These are some of my favourite summer songs. What are yours?

    I love summer heat and all because when it's not summer I'm working hard!

    Great songs!

    I love summer songs. Some of my favorites are Beach Boys stuff (SO summery!), Jimmy Buffett music, and I really love "All Summer Long," by Kid Rock.

    Thanks for commenting, Rumpster! I'm with you but I thought I'd make the effort and get that summer feeling.

    Love Charlie Parker's Summertime - so evocative of those 'lazy hazy crazy days of summer' :-)

    My very favourite summer song is by Lighthouse - a Canadian band with a giant hit in 1972 - Sunny Days
