Are you looking forward to summer this year and why?

[thegreenyogi]

[NathanDavis]

really not looking forward to the Summer weather, lmao...

but other than that... yes, we have a few things coming as family (reaching a couple milestones), and with some friends too... I might even go on a vacation, lmao... but we'll see

nothing 100% planned yet

[thegreenyogi]

And what are those milestones?

[NathanDavis]

graduations, anniversaries... some moving out back to the region, stuff like that, lol

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!! Sounds like you have a busy summer agenda.

[NathanDavis]

I sure hope so... what about you, any specific plans?

[thegreenyogi]

Plenty of beach if I can. Who knows I might even find a buyer for the farm and move countries. Lol!!

[NathanDavis]

I would be interested!! lol

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!!

Nooooooooooo! Summer bad. Summer hot. Summer humid. Summer bugs.

I am enjoying spring mild temps and rain. And I do love fall foliage and mild temps. But summer here in New England is a hot humid sweaty sauna that must be endured. Two showers a day.

[thegreenyogi]

That sounds terrible!! No beaches or rivers nearby?

[OneViewpoint]

Oh no, we have beaches. I'm about 30 minutes away from the Atlantic ocean. But the beach I usually go to is about 1.5 hours away because it has much better surf / waves. The problem is that I can't be at the beach every day. I do have an inground pool. And I'll come back from a run or finish cutting the lawn and just flop into the pool to dump my excess body heat. But while I'm running or cutting my lawn, the humidity is just miserable.

As an example, I'm about 207 lbs (94 kg) at the moment. On my 7 mile run I can drop about 4 lbs. If I extend that to my 13 mile route, I can drop 8 lbs. That's all water weight, respiration and sweat. In metric terms, that's 1.8 kg to 3.6 kg. In terms of water volume that's roughly 2 to 4 quarts or 2 to 4 liters. And I hate being confined to my air conditioned house, LOL.

Just sitting outside in the shade, you sweat. Nothing ever dries out because of the humidity. A lot of people here don't realize it but New England is basically a temperate rain forest in summer but our precipitation in winter is snow and ice.

[OneViewpoint]

Oh. and we have beautiful crystal clear lakes in New Hampshire and Maine. But that's 4 to 5 hours away by car. I had a lakefront home in New Hampshire for a while but I sold it when I move to the Caribbean for 4 years.

[thegreenyogi]

Sounds tough!! Lol!!

[thegreenyogi]

I'm not the only one that lives rural it seems.

[OneViewpoint]

Yeah, I deserve lot's of pity. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!! I don't think you deserve pity. It was your decision to live there afterall!!😜

[OneViewpoint]

I may sound like a bitchy petulant child but I love it here overall. 4 seasons. Great shoreline and beaches come with great seafood. Some beautiful crystal clear lakes. Mountains for backpacking / hiking in summer and skiing in winter. I'm fine with spring, fall, and winter. And I don't mind the heat actually. It's the humidity that sucks. You can literally feel the change in the weight of the air when you walk outside, it's noticeably harder to breathe.

[thegreenyogi]

This is the point I am trying to make. As much as you might complain if you live there still to this day it's because you really love it regardless.

[Sunshinelips]

UK summers are crap, we get about a week of really good hot weather then it’s gone so yes I’m looking forward to it 🤣 I detest winter so between now and September we get some mild weather before that cold crap starts back up again.

[RandomGirl42]

YES! 🥳 'Cuz swimming and hiking and cookouts and outside! 🥳

[OneViewpoint]

Oh shut up you Maine-iac. Black flies and skeeters. And ME, NH are not as bad as southern New England. So I guess I can cut you some slack on that annoying happy dance.

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!!

[RandomGirl42]

@OneViewpoint 🤣🤣🤣

[Iron_Man]

To hot I want Arctic cold blast. I don’t want hot heat. That is so hot when I’m having my cell phone in my truck, it starts overheating even if I’m not using it, that’s how hot it is.. I want super cold air and I don’t wanna have to run my air-conditioning and spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on it

[thegreenyogi]

I can understand your point of view. I have to work outdoors and it would be preferable if it were cooler.

[Iron_Man]

Well, I feel sorry for you because I know it can be hot in Italy. I like great sunny weather and going to the ocean, but I can’t stand that I’m sweating in my truck, when I’m driving it.

[thegreenyogi]

Agreed. What I do enjoy about the summer months is going to the beach and swimming in the water and that gives me relief from working in the heat.

[Iron_Man]

Sounds great. You’re a very nice person. 😊

[thegreenyogi]

Thank you!!🙃

[Iron_Man]

You’re welcome

[HawkPerception]

Yeah definitely. I'm not one for the cold. I just basically hibernate in winter. In the summer, I go out at least every other day, kick the ball around, hike often, and just make use of the warm weather as much as possible. I definitely get more fit in the summer. I can't help but think if I lived in a warmer climate, I'd live a healthier lifestyle consistently.

[Tarifa]

We had more rain than usual this winter, actually starting in October last year. So yes, I look forward to bright days, more sunshine and generally higher temps.

Living in a tourist destination, it depends. Nice, warm days are great when you're on holiday and have time to spend out in the open. Warm days are not that nice when you're out working, or need to drive somewhere to see a client and can't find a decent parking space.

[Nik1hil]

Nah!..

I am already getting roasted here in India..

We are already crossing 50°Celsius and it's not even May!..

I think if this time we don't get Enough water 💦 we will be fUucckked hard as temperature Crosses 55°C.. dry leave might start catching fire 🔥.

Just need to survive till end of June..

Starting July we Get Cloud Cover and Constant Rain till November then! 🤩

[Levin]

iunno, I'm worried about it slipping by. I want to do more this year and do some travelling.

I have lots of annual leave booked. Going to lots of gigs this week.

What about you?

[thegreenyogi]

Plenty of beach and sun.

[BobbieBoy666]

Summer loving means dress wearing time.

[LadyBecks]

Yes! I love summer! We have a few shorter vacations planned and a few family get togethers that I'm very much looking forward to!

[midnightmoon05]

yes that means summer vacation !! yeah!! no work for 2 months. we will not be here... traveling :)

[petitedollbabee]

We’ve just made it out of summer and soon it’ll be winter, I love winter, but my wallet doesn’t with the heating costs.

[TonyMetal___86]

I'm looking for a peaceful summer, i hope that i'll be able to enjoy it...

[thegreenyogi]

I hope you can too. 🙃

[TonyMetal___86]

Thanks miss yogi, you keep smiling and everything will be just fine 😌

[Sunrising]

Im looking forward to summer the warm weather, and not putting the heating on to keep warm.

[sage2021]

Actually no, I'm not! It just gets way too hot and humid!🥵 Makes me miserable.

[Phoenix98]

Summer is harvest time thus our busiest time and the best time to be making money so I'll be working and taking on all the over time I can get.

[exitseven]

Winter has been here since before Thanksgiving. We had a couple of major snowstorms, one was an actual blizzard. It was just a tough winter.

[DryGermanGuy]

Starting with the first day of winter, I do! :-D

[Nikki1989]

I always look forward to summer, but winter is approaching here.

[DonaldDarko]

I'm in LA we don't really get much bad winter weather. Summer will be warmer though.

[lilBigPotato]

It's my favourite season. A lot of festivals and events and I can chill at the beach.

[douride2]

I can't wait for the snow & ice to be gone off the lakes. And also for the water to be warm enough to go swimming.

[Mike_Hum]

Hell yeah. I have a ton of fun shit planned. Going to DR for a week, be with family and friends and of course the lake and hanging on the deck.

[CubaPirate]

World War 3 because it will put an end to all the nonsense going on in the world. Then some insects would survive and evolution could start over again

[Jerre]

Yes, looking forward to the warmth, being able to go nude in my pool once again

[Jerre]

@thegreenyogi Thank you for the Like

[Jerre]

And you can go swimming with me

[RedInnocent69]

Yes and no. It’s never as long or nice as you wish it would be

[Godihateyou]

No. I live in Texas. You can't go outside from late May until mid September without dying from heat.

[Tonita026]

Do better with my money.

[Agape93]

Nope I hate the heat and humidity

[Shiprex]

Yes, a move across the Atlantic is on the cards

[FunkyMonkee]

I've been looking forward to it since October!!

[KostasKouvalis]

World Cup is coming to America, baby!

[Hunter-40m]

Yeah I need a vacation I feel tired

[Massageman]

Yes. Because I hate winter.

[Xawyx-2]
