Camping up in the mountains. I love getting out of the heat in the city. We've been at enough altitude to wake up to ice in August.

Probably won't go this summer, toddler camping can be so exhausting that you need another vacation to recover from your vacation!

The only thing I like about Summer is that first crispity cool breeze at the end.

I also dig that first honeysuckle air...everything in between shuts me down. Wake me when November comes.
Another soulmate!!!

I actually love when the days get shorter and it gets darker earlier. I love the colder temps and having to wear a jacket. October and November make me come alive! People mostly think I am crazy, but there are others like me out there. Every once in a while I meet one and it's like we're in a secret, exclusive club. lol :cool2:

I love the light mornings. Coming home from work, going for a bike ride, or a blast in the 'Stang, and a early dinner outside one of the beautiful country pubs around here. Kind of makes you realise work is only a part of the day, not all of it.
You speak true - I never thought of it that way. October - March kind of feels like nothing but work.

Ah, I remember the humidity and bugs growing up in Illinois. It got beat by the good parts, but yeah, that could be tough. Now in Colorado, I do have hot days here and there, but it's a dry heat and rarely uncomfortable.

But to be fair, if I had to list what I liked about any season, it would be a lot longer than what I didn't like. It's all good.

Yeah... Just love the heat, the humidity, the bugs, the sweating, the sunburn, the 3 hour lawn mowing, the non-stop kids complaints that there’s nothing to do, etc. Summer is little more than a misery making endurance test. If it wasn’t for girls in skimpy bikinis I’d think we were living in hell. Give me Spring or give me Death!
