Tell us how you really feel.

The rest? Not so much.

I also love the beach and the sunsets but fall/winter is my favorite

we had the AC in the house fixed yesterday.


Do you want to know why I hate fall? Hum? Do you care that everything beautiful will be buried under mounds of falling leaves ... until the cold of winter envelopes everything with a deadly stillness.

there is basketball to play and walks to take .....................

No one to play with. [img][/img] Somehow, I never get around to those walks I used to plan.

and I am far from pup stage

I can't wait for it to end. It might as well be winter because you can't go outside in this heat and humidity.

that's just how I look at it--might as well be winter.

I would like to add to the OP's post:

--looking lousy.

There's no point in making an effort to look good. In no time at all, the humidity will collapse your hair, perspiration will wash carefully applied make up into your eyes, the sun will bleach out any coloring you've added to hair, and clothes will be a wrinkled, damp mess.

And it's been worse here this summer because we've had a hideous heat wave that just won't quit.
I can't help it...I take the heat personally.

where ? I'm packing the truck .

Love the long days, though.

Altho I do like the long days, grass cutting has been no problem past couple years as again it has totally dried up no rain and it looks like we may not have to mow again till who knows when.

I hate, hate summer at least in this climate use to love it out in the western states but not in midwest, the humidity just kills me!

Permanent Spring/Fall weather

Seriously, it's cold in the summer there

I am not much for big cities.
But their is a snag on moving at all. Her name is Mrs. Rurallib.
Maybe you could talk to her for me?

Free health care, and out of all the cities that I've been to who claimed to be "just like San Francisco" (Cape Town, Sydney, Hong Kong...) Vancouver is that city - and more.

They have a huge freakin' wilderness park in the middle of the city! Dense forest!

would you like to talk to Mrs. Lib for me?

Personal choice would be to move to one of the little towns in southwestern B.C. that can only be reached by ferry. Swooooooooooooooooon.

Unfortunately, I can't afford to do any such thing...and I have heard that Canada does not welcome folks from below the 49th parallel, unless we are either rich, have a job skill which Canada needs, or are married to one of your fine citizens.

Alas, I am none of the above.

If this is not true, pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase let me know.

IT skills are always needed, and if you need any of the certification tests, I have them

And I always look forward to fall and winter.

Finally broke down and went to the doctor.

Sweet Codine will be taking me to sleepytown very shortly.

Summer is only fun if I can afford to go swimming in our mountain streams, camping, or to the coast.

Haven't been able to afford any of the above in far too many years (thanks Ronny Raygun, for the tricke-down poverty ). Haven't had a vacation in years. And, we get ever-decreasing work hours in the summer (which would be fine, if I earned a livable income).

So, yeah, come on Fall!

Everywhere else should be sping/fall/winter. But no summer.

Are you having a good week? I was out boat camping a couple days which was fun. Still rocking, and sunburnt. Yay for nice days.

I hate the heat, and for me heat is 80 degrees. I much prefer the mid 60s.

However, I do LOVE the long sunny days that summer in the Northwest brings.

That's basically what we get here in the winter and fall. I love our summers by contrast.

I love rainy days.

Mowing the yard, who does that. My neighbor mows my front yard about twice in the spring. Maybe once during the summer. My yard is mostly native grass and whatever can survive TX summers. Completely natural xeriscape.

i LOVE summer! love the sun, the heat etc.

but it comes with bugs and allergens, sunburns, stinky smells and all sorts of crap in the air.

Riding lawn mower takes care of the grass

No complaints about the sun being out late - saves me $$ in hydro for lights - wintertime up here, it can be dark before 5pm,

And I like it when the sun beams through my bedroom window at 6am - which is more like 9am in the winter.

I agree with the sentiment of being inside with the A/C - that's why I'm here now - beautiful looking day outside, but too hot and muggy to do much of anything out there.

But I still get stuff done - take 10 minute "breaks" outside to do a chore, then dash inside to cool down.

This is the hottest time of year in Northern Ontario - mid July until late August.

September is our nicest month - warm days, cool nights, no bugs.

30 years ago I used to "chase" the sun to get a tan.

No more - I prefer the shade now.

We change.

I hate summer because my dog refuses to snuggle on the sofa because he is too hot. I miss that. Once fall and the cooler temps return, my lap dog returns to my lap.
