• Hot water comes out of both taps.
• You find out that a seatbelt buckle makes a pretty nice branding iron.
• The trees are whistling for the dogs.
• You find out that you can get sunburned through your car window.
• The birds need to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
• You burn your hand opening the car door.
• The temperature drops below 95 and you put on a sweater.
• You can make instant sun tea.
• Shade determines the best parking space, not distance.
• Farmers feed their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs.
