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
1. Ladybugs
2. Raspberries
3. Smell of freshly mown grass
4. Hanging baskets
5. The feel of the evening air
6. Autumn is around the corner
7. Anytime is Mojito time
8. Leaves swaying in a light breeze
9. Blueberries
10. Blossoms, buds, petals - garden poetry
11. Fresh local garden produce
12. Sunshine (not the withering energy-sapping sweat inducing kind but the pleasant warm life affirming type)13. It's light out late
14. The feel of sun on my face
15. Autumn is approaching
16. Evening picnics
17. How the sun makes chocolate soft and even more delectable
18. Summer skies
19. Watching dragonflies dart through the air
20. No jackets!
