Summer in the capital

The months of July and August are not typically very pleasant in D.C. Humidity sets in and makes hot weather feel hotter. Maybe it's because this summer has been relatively mild, or maybe I'm just more tolerant than before, but this year has not bothered me too much. And even when it's miserable outside, there's something distinctly nostalgic about summertime - long days, bright green leaves, delicious tomatoes, and frequent barbecues. Also, the end of August means that fall, my favorite season, is not far away. (And doesn't Tyser Tower look awesome??)
