Well, summer won't be too long with us. Just a few weeks and the autumn air will come. TWQ (The Weekend Question) is asking about summer this week.
What is it you like most about summer? List as many as you wish.
My answers are:
* The crisp summer breeze that stops it getting too warm.
* BBQs...although we rarely get invited!
* Blue skies...we seldom seem to see them in other seasons.
*Short skirts!
Now it's over to you...
Sunshine, Smiles and Holidays are all pretty good. Like here right now. And Hiya, today Michele sent me!

Warm sun, bare feet in the garden, swimming in the ocean or pool. Wonder what Michele would say.

Honestly, there isn't too much I like about summer other than the fact that I don't have to wear a jacket! Oh, and fresh tomatoes and other vegetables - those are fantastic, too!
ReplyDeleteLove this question. Let me ponder...
ReplyDelete1 - The ability to come and go as we please without having to get dressed up in winter gear and boots every time.
2 - Spending more time with my family while they're out of school. Precious moments like this are harder to come by when everyone goes back to school.
3 - Riding my bike. It's my ultimate getaway. Can't do that when the snow's three feet deep!
Seeing the garden come to life. Wandering round the garden in my nightie(it's private). Having the French windows open. Not being chilled to the marrow. Listening to the birdsong and being energised to rise early, painlessly.
ReplyDelete* sunny days
ReplyDelete*picnics
*flowers
*fresh vegetables and fruits
* sitting outside with my husband watching the gorgeous sunsets.
Good movie season (this year especially!)

Everyone goes outside--you see everyone in your neighborhood or city.

I don't beleive we've actually had a proper summer here in the UK for a couple of years now! I do like the blue skies (when we see them), longer days and ice-cream though :)
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me to play!
Bob'kat, as I'm in the UK as well, I know our summers haven't been too good.
ReplyDeleteEpiphany, I'd love to go to your BBQ, but can't go over to the US for it!
I share so many of the others answers...all fine summery things!
A bountiful garden of flowers and vegetables.
ReplyDeleteLetting the kids sleep late.
Going someplace new for a vacation getaway.
Ohhhhh the warm weather has to come up #1.
ReplyDeleteI like seasons, but when it is cold for most of the year, summer is like a dream!
(Short skirts? Ha Captain, you should have a BBQ and insisting that your female guests wear only bikinis!)
sigh... we don't have 4 seasons in Singapore. It's Summer all year round for us.
ReplyDeleteWe wear Tees and shorts daily. We can have ice-cream everyday. We go to the beach daily. We spend less on clothings. :)
