Love or hate summer?

[catnapper]

I so desperately hate summer. There is nothing good about it. The heat. The humidity. The bugs. The sunburns. Needing to have my legs daily The fact that my job is dead dead dead in summer and my coworkers become backstabbing monsters only makes summer even more miserable. I've also been diagnosed with Seasonal Depressive disorder -- only I get it during the summer (whereas most "normal" people get it in the fall) Plus my cats won't snuggle with me because they're hot Poor melty cats.

Ok, well, ice cream does taste especially good in summer. And we can give summer a plus for long days. but thats as far as I will go for liking summer!

What is your feeling of summer?

As I have gotten older, I find that I tolerate cold much better than hot. So I much prefer the cooler months. I also like the shorter days, longer nights. One reason - it's easier to get the boy cats in when it gets dark earlier.

I like my "winter" recipes more than the summer ones. Who wants to make chili or pot roast when it's over 90°?

Let's just say I TOLERATE it. As I get older, I find I get very tired and cranky in humid, hot weather.

But I do like the activities, and the fact that I can take my nekkids out for a walk in their stroller!

I enjoyed summer more years ago when I was thin and active. Now that I'm heavier I prefer winter so I can cover up under layers of clothes. Hopefully that will change soon though.
We used to go out on our boat almost every weekend. Now we are selling the boat. One summer activity is going for rides on the motorcycle. I can still wear layers on the bike.
So I voted other on the poll.

I tolerate it - the heat waves make it that way for me. I look forward to Labour Day weekend!

I voted that I enjoy it but I like other months better. Since I live in Northern CA it doesn't get as hot as in many other areas but we do have our hot spells. I don't have AC either and I live on the second floor so my condo can heat up quickly especially if it doesn't cool down at night. I love the long days and daylight though. My favorite month is probably Fall because I like the temperature better. I'd love for the temp to stay 70 all year long.

I voted "I enjoy it, but like other months better "

I don't like the heat either but I work in air conditioning, have it in my car and at home. I don't go outside if it is too hot. I am pretty spoiled.

I would say my favorite season is Spring, Fall, Summer and then Winter.

I love the summer. I like the warm weather.I love spending time in the garden and under the tent, its peaceful.
We get a lot of birds and wildlife. The humming birds, the humming bird moth, goldfinch, the bear.

Summer time is MY time! LOVE this time of year, my fave!!! The activities, not having to add clothes to go out, not dealing with boots, wet paws, just having FUN!!!!

Growing up, I assumed everyone loved summer cuz it meant school was out.

I mostly HATE IT with a passion, my favourite time of year is autumn, spring it would be except for the hayfever, i would rather just stay inside with my air con all summer and not go out at all, infact i do not go out much anyhow.

However some things are good about summer, swimming is nice,but that is about it for me .

We have summer days that are in the 70s - low 80s. I love those days. Summer days that are in the high 80s - 100+...I don't enjoy. I'm very sensitive to heat, get migraines, and end up feeling sick if I go out. I enjoy spring/fall more. Our winters are not bad either...sometimes the cold, crisp air feels so 'fresh'.

[kittycats_delight]

I have a love/hate relationship with summer. I love it quite warm. I am good with 30 even 35°C (85-95°F) weather with no problem. But I hate the humidity. If I could have the heat with low-low/moderate humidity I would be just fine. I could even handle hotter than I stated. I am cold with temperatures under 25°C (77°F) so am more than happy with the heat. Just take away that miserable humidity that makes it feel like the seventh circle of hell and I would be a happy camper.

I totally, completely, gazillion percent HATE spring and summer. As I get older I love the cold weather more each year - at my age I figure I'll keep better. The perfect day is 20 degrees with about a foot of fresh snow on the ground, crystal blue sky, and cotton-ball clouds.

[Felicia's Mom]

Even though I prefer cool-cold weather, I love the change of seasons. I wouldn't want to live where the weather doesn't change much all year long.

[pomtzu]

I tolerate it - as long as I have my air conditioning to stay cool. I much prefer winter tho, and can take the cold better than the heat. I love the beach or having access to a pool, but that's not always possible. Give me temps in the low 80's, a nice breeze, and no humidity, and I would gladly take that year round. However, living in Delaware, that ain't ever gonna happen! Besides - I love the change of seasons.
