How do you know it's summer in Borrego Springs?
YOU KNOW IT'S SUMMER WHEN...
warm water comes out of the cold water faucet.
you turn on the hose and almost get scalded.
you try to swim but the water's too hot.
you can't open the gate because the handle's too hot.
there are parking spaces in front of the Post Office.
your electric bill goes up.
your water bill goes up.
car upholstery burns your legs and you can't hold on to the steering wheel.
your only visitors are U.P.S. or Fed Ex.
you go to the P.O, the Center Market, the Library or the Medical Center just to get cool.
you can't walk on your patio with bare feet.
the dog balks at bringing in the morning paper.
you sleep on top of the sheets instead of under them and start thinking that nudists have the right idea.
golf TV takes the place of your start times.
birds hop around with wide open bills and rabbits don't bother to run away from you.
you read more books in one month than you had read all season.
You go to the market and the bread shelf is almost bare.
the hardware store closes early but you forget what time.
( and I'll bet you can add a few more )
