Question of the Week #15- What's Your favorite thing about summer?
Summer is not my favorite season. Especially since I've lived here in North Carolina. I've never really gotten used to the one-two punch of heat and humidity. The heat arrived WAY early this year too. As hot as it is now, I can't imagine what it might be like by August.

Consequently, most of my favorite summertime activities involve being in a cool place... a swimming pool, or the ocean will do, but if not, I'm very happy in an air-conditioned house. And since there's nothing but reruns on TV in the summer, it's no wonder that I'm a baseball fan. As a matter of fact, I don't remember NOT being a baseball fan.
I often had to listen to games on the radio as a kid,(my daughter thinks this is hysterical), but now, thanks to satellite TV, I can see every single Yankee game along with the pre and post-game shows, all in HD, and all without breaking a sweat!
So how about you? What's YOUR favorite summer-time activity?
Air conditioning

ReplyDeleteI'm a "Yankee" transplanted to sourthern VA... by choice. Mainly to be closer to daughter and family, but also to get out of the endless winters. Yes this year has been one of contrasts.. a snowy cold winter, a very short spring, then boom right into summer! We live on Smith Mountain Lake, so you can guess what my favorite activites are. Boating, being on the lake, looking at the lake, swimming.. let me correct that, being emersed in the lake. There is a group of us who go out kayaking 2 times a week. We like to begin in April and will go until it gets too cold for us to go out. One year it was warm enough to kayak the Tuesday before Thanksgiving! That's unusual though, we usually stop by the end of October. When it's too hot... of course it's sewing, creating etc. Getting ready for the crafts for our VBS is a big part of summer. This year our grandson was ready to stay with us for a week without Mom and Dad. He is 5 and did wonderful, of course we kept him busy to help not missing Mom & Dad. You've got those days coming! That's it from Smith Mountain Lake!

Oh, no, we are coming north from the panhandle of Florida and I need a break from the HEAT & humidity. We do this every year and I'm always so happy to get to North Carolina because it's so much cooler there. But now you say it's hot and humid there . . . ugh! Oh, well, we are coming anyway! :) But to stay cool, I knit in the air-conditioning and on our covered porch where the breezes are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBaseball definitely, on radio certainly. But PHILLIES RULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate the heat and humidity, but I love to watch my hummingbirds, robins, and sparrows with their babies in my lawn, from my air conditioned living room! I venture out once in a while and sit on my deck (whatever happened to porches? We had 3 of them in our old farmhouse when I grew up) and watch them in my maple tree.
ReplyDeletelove the sunlight, but not the bugs
ReplyDeleteWatermelon and air conditioning - husband actually loves the humidity - the dogs and I, not so much.
