On this side of the world it is springtime, the days are getting warmer now.

I really prefer the summer - give me a day that is "too hot" to one that is "too cold" anytime. I actually end up feeling a bit sad every year when I realise that summer is over and the days are starting to get colder again.

Summer Is Gone
 

[QUOTE=Rayne;633065]We just got out of the pool, and the water is getting pretty cold...It looks like were going to have to stop swimming soon :(

We are basicly Fall type people, but the pool has really made this summer fun

Are you guys lamenting summer's passing, too?

In a way. Down here in New Orleans when summer is over it means hurricane season is about over too! So that is good news!

But, yes. I like the warmer weather as compared to the freezing cold weather we occasionally get down here.

However, my favorite times of the year are autumn and spring. We don't get much of eather. Looks like they go right into summer or winter. These seasons are not very long down here!

I particularly like to see the leaves change and the pumpkins in a frosty field.

I want to one day go on a Fall foalige tour up in New England.

But also remember about Autumn:

"Even a man who is pure in heart
and says his prayers by night
may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms
and the autumn moon is bright"

Thanks for showing me how to do the photos.

Have a great evening> Watch a horror movie!

Marya, your hostess to the supernatural!

My brother and myself used to swim in the middle December. If you dive right in the freezing feeling goes away pretty quick and then it's just cool, which is better than being in the blazing heat anyway imo.

HaHaHa...OUR Decembers aren't like YOUR Decembers...If you tried to dive in HERE in December, you'd get a concussion from cracking your head on the ice...:p

It's been in the 80's but is so humid, I walk outside and sweat buckets.

I miss the ocean,and everything that goes with summer at the beach.

Yeah, I figured that. I wouldn't mind living up north someday, winters last longer and it doesn't get nearly as hot as it does here. I'm not too big on swimming anyway or anything else that requires heat.

I really loved living up for the few 5 years, but MY GOD the winters were unbelievable.
Power out for days, no sun for MONTHS, winter seemed to drag on way too long for sanity sake.

I love fall......and have always hated the summertime. But I am dreading winter this year. I'm okay as long as it doesn't drop below 0, because then it isn't so bad.....but those days, I hide and miss being in Georgia.....;) I definitely did NOT miss Georgia weather this summer though, they were having record breaking heat, and it is never what you could exactly call pleasant down there anyway. The humidity is a killer.

That's the whole point, hell I might go to Alaska. Cold all the time, dark half the year and twilight most of the other half.

Let me know when you head out...I'll pack my things :D


I do LOVE to swim though
