Technically, it isn't summer until the 21st but we can celebrate early :) Besides, I know I'm not the only one living in a heat record shattering area.
What are you doing or looking forward to this summer? What are your favorite summer things?
It's my least favorite season, due to the heat and sun. This is my first summer in my apartment and the evening sun hits my bedroom, making it hotter than the rest of the house. On the plus side, I can turn my thermostat to whatever I want and I keep it around 75, which is nice compared to outside.
I love to swim! :swim:
My parents have a pool but it's not heated, so we can't use it for most of the year. It gets full sun exposure so it heats up nice, sometimes a bit too much. I like the water to be refreshingly cool, not like bath water. I also love going to the beach and swimming in the Gulf. I would always go to the beach with my sister... but I can't do that anymore, so I'll have to go with my nieces instead. I love shelling and looking for shark teeth too :) We used to feed the seagulls but they made it illegal on the beach we like to go to. There are other beaches where you can feed them though.
Local fresh fruits and veggies are another thing I look forward to :) Corn on the cob is like 20 cents an ear right now :lol:
I like the butterflies, dragonflies and grasshoppers. Not so much the wasps and black widows. The swale at my parents house usually gets flooded during the summer so there are lots of turtles and fish and birds around. Occasionally a gator or two. That's one thing I miss living there - the wildlife.
Summer usually means Ren Faire, but here we have it in the Spring. We have a Pirate Fest too ;)
