Question of the Day, Sunday, 7th of June, 2020

[Mia6]

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!!

For those of you in the Northern hemisphere, what do you like best about summer
and for those of you in the Southern hemisphere, what do like best about winter?

Northern for me, I like a sunny day, low humidity, and reading on the deck with a beverage.
I'm also growing tomatoes from seed for the first time. excited about that.

What do like best?

 

[Winchester]

I'm in the northern hemisphere and am enjoying summer. I'm not cold!

 

[di and bob]

I enjoy the things that are only present in the summer, the call of a cicada, cottonwood cotton drifting through the air, hearing the crickets and frogs in early mornings that are warm and fragrant with the smell of life, the bounty of the earth, all teaching us to slow down and enjoy the life we have been given.....

Sitting in the sun reading, listening to the birds and smelling the lavender in my garden

 

[MoonstoneWolf]

My air conditioner.

 

[jcat]

I'm in the northern hemisphere and most enjoy being able to sit outside and listen to or watch the birds and insects. Yesterday a stork flew right past our back balcony, much to Mowgli's intense excitement. They're much more common in Hungary and Austria, so it was a treat to see one here.

 

[mani]

I'm Down Under and I just love the lack of heat and humidity. I get so much done in Winter.

 

[maggiedemi]

I like the warm weather, so I can take my walk and not freeze. I like to feel the sun's warmth.

 

[EmersonandEvie]

Northern hemisphere. Deep south (south of Macon).

Um...I like the longer hours of sunlight. There are more birds and other critters out and about to see, which never gets old to me. I love driving to work and seeing the occasional deer.

Beyond that...not much. The heat isn't necessarily bad (I would actually be comfortable in ~85 degrees), it's the humidity. I hate waking up at 5:45 and the humidity in my garage alone could knock you over. It's too hot during the day to really do anything outside- any sort of exercise, walking, etc. Yardwork is hard because it gets so hot, so fast early in the morning.

Our ultimate goal is to move more northward one day!

 

[Tobermory]

Northern hemisphere here, and it’s snowing in the mountains about 25 mikes away! June, people. Snow.

I love seeing the colors of summer, enjoying the long daylight hours, watching the wildlife on our early morning walks.

 

[posiepurrs]

Northern hemisphere - I enjoy the fact it ISN'T winter! Having windows open, hearing the birds, growing and harvesting the garden, cutting flowers from the flower gardens, the smell of rain on warm pavement, the smell of freshly mown grass, the good tiredness from a hard days work making your yard more beautiful, catching a glimpse of the fireflies dancing, longer days, not being chilly, and just generally being in a better mood than in winter. Enough????

 

[gilmargl]

Northern hemisphere: I love the long evenings. I no longer drive in the dark, so in summer I can spend more time and do more away from home. What I dislike intensely are grass mites, which keep me indoors or covered from head to foot when working in the garden (I never used to have this problem - another age-related phenomenon?)

 

[Tik cat's mum]

Northern hemisphere, I love taking long walks and seeing the wildlife and not having to wrap up warm.

 

[neely]

Northern hemisphere - love being outdoors when it's not scorching hot and humid, longer days with sunlight, eating al fresco and, most of all, long walks.

 

[susanm9006]

The best part of summers are my mornings at the lake, the wildlife in the yard and my gardens . And the smell of fresh summer air is wonderful.

 

[Kat0121]

Here in Florida it is summer for the majority of the year so I'm about it. Our winters are the best. Not hot, less humid and of course, NO SNOW.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I enjoy the daylight lasting so long! Watching things bloom and grow in the gardens and watching the birds too.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I don't like heat, so summer is not my favorite. What I do like though is all the available summer fruits.

 

[NY cat man]

Northern hemisphere
I enjoy the fact that I can work outside without having to dress up like the Michelin Man to be reasonably warm.

 

[aliceneko]

I live in the Northern hemisphere and I like the sun when it's not too hot but not too cold. Warm enough to wear short sleeves and not to shiver in them, but also cold enough so you're not dying in the sunlight!
