Very evocative. So many sights, sounds, and other sensations came to mind as I read this.

Groan. It’s definitely the furthest thing from summer here. 🙁

Nice! You made my least favorite season come alive, and I almost like it.
I’m reminded of the late Sid Fleischman’s suggestion to ‘give a weather report.’

And *my* favorite part of your posts is the warning about cliches. I usually spot at least one cliche hole I’ve fallen into. It’s like you’ve thrown me a rope to pull myself out!

My favorite parts of your posts are always the contrasts at the end. I guess I really like contrast in my stories. 🙂 As always, great post.

Ah, yes. The flowers. Thanks, Janet!

Great post, Becca. And if anyone knows summer, it's you living down in Florida! :)

makes me yearn for summer again. You could also add to smell the scent of flowers. In my MG manuscript the smell of honeysuckle plays a large part in my story.

This is a great reminder, especially with the cold weather set it. Both my books are set in the summer, so this couldn't have come at a better time.

Thanks:)

So true that these seasonal and weather cues vary by region and era! Thanks for what you do.

I gotta figure out how to favorite this–my ms takes place in summer and I can always use help in the sensory stuff. Love the grilling, too! Forgot about that.
