Explanation:

It was a hot dry day last august when I realized that I was tired of Summer. On that day I came to the conclusion that Summer days were too warm, too long and too sunny. I decided to get in my car and drive North to the mountains for some cool air which I love and shady trees. It was the best decision I made all Summer.

*Seasons, such as winter, spring, summer and fall, do not require capitalization because they are generic common nouns.

*Seasons as Generic Nouns This can make some intuitive sense, as you capitalize the days of the week (e.g., Wednesday) and the months of the year (e.g., August). However, the four seasons are not proper nouns and, consequently, do not need to be capitalized.
