Summer Lovin’

Honestly, I am not much of a summer person. I like it that it is sunny and the days are longer, sure. But I don’t do well in the heat and humidity. That said, a LOT of people are summer people and I am glad for that. People become so much happier at the mere mention of the word.
Whether you love it or hate it, summer is officially here. It’s time to strip yourself of warm layers of clothing and squish your toes in the sand or lay in a park under a tree. I have to admit, there is so much more to do in the summer because we Canadians don’t have to worry about frostbite any longer! We can finally put those patios, boats and cottages to use.
While I might not love the intense heat, there are still a lot of things I would love to get done before we get hit with extreme cold alerts again. I hope I get a chance to go camping or at least to spend the afternoon on a beach somewhere, relaxing with a book and a Frisbee. I really want to get out of my city and see a place that I haven’t been to before.
I would also like to explore my own hometown while it is nice out. Photography is one of my hobbies, so getting out with a camera on a warm day to find little niches and areas that I usually ignore would be great fun. I could feel like a tourist at home for a day.
If it gets too hot, there is always my favourite retreat from the heat, the movie theatre. With blockbusters like The Dark Knight and The Pineapple Express coming out in the middle of summer, I can enjoy their AC with a big bag of popcorn.
So enjoy the sun, while I suffer without air conditioning! What’s your favourite / least favourite thing about summer?
