Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Like it? Love it? Hate it? (Why?) and... How is this summer different than last year (or years before)? My Answer: Love it! This year summer has been so much nicer than in the past. I have been comfortable wearing shorts and little sun dresses out in public. I love being able to do things out in the yard. I love all the fresh produce that is available during the summer. Don't really like the hot, humid weather during the summer....I am talking about when it gets up around 100; but since I live in Texas I guess that is my own fault. LOL! Also, it is usually cool enough in the mornings and evenings that I can still be outside working in the yard. Especially since our yard has lots of trees, there is usually someplace in the shade. What about you? Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Hm I don't like summer I don't like being warm AT ALL. I don't like wearing summer clothes; I don't like getting dressed up Sundays and for work bc it's too hot for pantyhose; although in casual gear having my Birkenstocks be appropriate foot gear is nice for a change from the winter. I don't like the sand or getting wet at the beach and I don't like going in the pool and, as can be imagined, with my 230ish lb body I'm not a fan of bathing suits, and I'm very fair so I don't try to tan and must take extreme measures to avoid it - I use the same 30-50 block I put on the kids - but both the beach and pool going are activities I do frequently bc my family likes em I don't like needing to water the plants every night bc watering them during the day burns them and forgetting to water them kills them. I liked having a productive garden two years ago but we got flooded last year so we're filling the gardening area this year so we don't have the garden so that's no fun. I usually like my husband's summer schedule as he is a school teacher and his summer school hours are abbreviated even if he tutors for an hour or two afterward each day; but this year he's taking a grad school course so he's gone 3 nights a week and stays at school to do his homework between summer school and grad school - so I never see him more than during the school year which seriously stinks but it's a sacrifice for a good cause. *sigh* I don't like how summer makes it difficult to keep any sort of good schedule for the kids - it's bright for so long into the night it's harder to get them in the house and ready for bed at a decent hour. But mostly I don't like the heat.. I don't like summer. I need to move to Maine - or Alaska. :-) jpj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
