I don't have a lot of love for summer. It is my least favorite season. Too hot for me to handle and being fairskinned and freckled i have to really minimize my exposure to the sun.
My favorite is fall followed by winter. Love te cool air, the fall harvest activities, halloween, thanksgiving, then getting in to the christmas season. The comfort food like chili cooking in the crock pot all day on a cold windy day, chicken pot pie, turkey roasting in the oven, ham, bean and potato. Baking banana bread and cookies and brownies
As one who voted 'tolerate it' I'm ready to move on! Tired of the bugs, the heat, and the mowing! We had drought conditions so storms weren't bad this summer.;)
Oh I know what you mean. mosquitos have been TERRIBLE here this year. It's crazy. I can't go out for 5 seconds without being attacked lol. We were at Hershey Gardens the other day and something bit hannah on the ankle and her ankle puffed up and she had a big hard bump where the bite was and it was so itchy. Poor kid.
The past couple of weeks the temps have been in the 80's - seasonable for this time of year - and not that oppressive heat we had with temps of 100+ for almost 2 weeks straight. Today is rather steamy tho, even tho not too hot. For the past week I've been leaving the house every morning at 7:30 to take my grandson to soccer practice, and one day I actually had to turn the heat on in the car for a few minutes to take the chill off. Of course it warms up during the day tho.
One thing I LOVE about this time of year - Fall is almost here and we'll soon be enjoying the cooler weather. Hope Mother Nature doesn't have any surprises up her sleeve like a few years ago when we were still having to have the a.c. on till mid October! I love my sweatshirts and can't wait till I have to get them out again! :D
I voted "other", and I will try to expain:
I like the light, and the green trees, the flowers, the crops and everything... I also like the sunshine.
I don't like the heat, and I hate the humidity; especially at night. I wouldn't mind hot days if the nights were cool, but often, they are not in my area. If that happens, I'm having problems to get the heat and the muggy air out of my rooms, and I don't like that.
But over the last three years, we had really gloomy and rainy summers, and I found that's really depressing. I'm missing the light.
I totally agree! I LOVE hiking, swimming, camping, being out on the lake/boating, wakeboarding, tubing, you name it!:DQuote:

This weekend the weather has been perfect. The high has only been to about 70. I'm able to open up and keep my windows and sliding glass door open all day. This is the kind of weather that I love.:) Unfortunately it's supposed to get hotter again during the week so I'm enjoying it while I can. My cats have been so much more active so they're enjoying it too.:)
