    Love or hate summer?

    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.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    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.
