Tired of Winter? Scenes from Last Summer- a picnic at Holmes Lake

Here we are in the middle of another snowy weekend in Nebraska. It seems like the forecast could be snow every day until May. Ah but Spring is coming and soon it will be warmer. It might difficult to realize now, but it will be summer again in only 4 months and we will enjoy picnics and other summer activities again.

Last summer my Sunday class had a picnic before some of our friends left to go back to China to visit family. It was actually a nice day for a picnic because it was not a typical Nebraska summer of hot and humid weather. For a while it looked like it might rain but it didn’t.

Last Summer I enjoyed some walks around the lake for exercise. It was a comfortable summer for weather. No major heat waves. Most days below 90. It was great for me. On another cold snowy day it is nice to remember fun in the sun with my friends. I hope next summer is as nice as last summer. One thing I feel confident in saying is that it won’t snow in July and August.
