Things Not to Hate About Summer



I love living on the West Coast of Canada and being able to witness all seasonal changes. I derive immense pleasure observing earthly cycles complete with varied colours, scents, and temperatures.
Each season has its own magic which I embrace and appreciate.
However, when my energy level has been obliterated by the summer heat and I am covered in sticky damp sweat then I find myself cursing summer and counting the days until Autumn. Summer is the only time you will ever hear me complaining about the weather. In an effort to be more proactive about the rapidly approaching season I thought I would make a list about some of the positives of Summer:


Things I Love Like Tolerate Like About Summer


1.  Ladybugs

2.  Raspberries

3.  Smell of freshly mown grass
