I should qualify that title. I’m for the sunshine, if I can watch it from behind a window. I’m not fussy about where that window is—could be in the house or in the car or a restaurant or… You get the idea. Suffice it to say, like Scarlett, I’ve always been one to watch my complexion. Why? Because I burn in nothing flat. Plus, I’m not much of an outdoors person. Plus 2, sunshine means bugs. Flying bugs, crawling bugs, all kinds of bugs. Nope. Not for me. But I am happy to open the blinds and curtains and “Let the sunshine. Let the sunshine in, the sunshine in!” (Courtesy of the 7th Dimension)
But I have to admit, if there ever were times that I would love being out in the sunshine, it is during the fall. My favorite season, it always seems as though the sky is bluer, the breezes brisker, and the sun most welcome during the autumn. Maybe because we know winter is coming? At any rate, being outside in September, October, or November is a treat. I’ll take the sunshine then, thanks very much!

Enjoy your fall Dee.
The singers of “Let the sunshine in” were the 5th Dimension. Showing my age, I know!
Mom raised me to be afraid of all things wild–which meant anything outside of the house. But my boyfriend/now husband started dragging me camping, and gradually I realized how comforting it is to feel like a part of nature, not an adversary. Then one of our sons at 2 decided he wanted to be an entomologist, so there are still bug jars in every room in our house, and in our camper, so we can capture them then set them free outside–instead of killing them. I sure hope that makes for some good karma! BTW, he’s now got a masters in Hydro-Geology, so he is a scientist, but changed his focus as he grew up.
Fiona, I’ve never heard of hydro-geology, so that shows MY age! We used to have majors like Biology, English… You know what I mean. Gosh, who did I say sang Let the Sun Shine? I really liked the 5th Dimension.
