I;d go with that one too if I thought I had a hope in heck chance of winning...... but summer begins for me I suppose.. when I can go swimming outdoors... no pool here but I have one at the house in Spain..just can't get there cuz of the current airline crises..
The best Summer for me begins with lower-than-average temps which we saw in Dallas throughout June. Even July hasn't been unbearably hot so far. In Dallas, that's a miracle!
