January:
Crisp cold days
Early morning ski races
I almost mowed the lawn last year
Still very dark in the mornings
February:
It’s like January.
March:
My birthday
The long stretch between
February and April break,
Spring skiing and big snowstorms
Days in the late 30s
Ski racing states
April:
The snow starts disappearing
A few buds start popping out on the trees and from the ground
The grass starts gathering a teeny bit of color
Dirt roads with ruts so deep,
They scrape the bottom of the car,
And we slide every which way
May:
Short sleeved shirts outside again
Lacrosse
With flowers kicking off the summer,
Poking through the ground announcing the arrival of warmth
The last snow melts from the big banks it once was
June:
The pool opens
School ends
Days in the mid 70s
With short clear nights
Where all of the stars are brightly visible
July:
Fireworks
Cool drinks
Swimming
Sunscreen
Thunderstorms
Rainy or not at all
Stereotypically summer
August:
Hot
A lot of sun
Anticipation of school
September:
School and soccer start
Shorts every day
Hot school building
The grass is either green or brown
Keep forgetting to mow the lawn
October:
Pumpkins and pumpkin spice
Halloween
Nights start to get cooler
Excitement for the holidays and winter
The time when I really start to observe consumerism
November:
Many friends' birthdays
Hoping for snow
Either really warm or cold,
It varies day to day
Dry land training
Thanksgiving
Audi FIS Stifel Killington World Cup
December:
Advent calendars
Counting down the days to Christmas
Ski season starts again
So much time with my friends
Watching if it is going to snow or rain
Thick snow sticking to the trees
Winter break
Skiing every day
Hot cocoa and marshmallows
Then it’s New Years
