I have loved gardening and cooking meals straight out of my garden, cooking with herbs that are growing in pots on my deck, going to the beach with my BF, happy hours in the sun with my BF, watching sunsets at the beach, reading on my deck in the sun or under the stars, runs on the beach and through our trails, wearing shorts, tank tops, and flip flops, cut flowers in my kitchen, the Farmer's Market, the tourist activity of downtown Holland, the smell of cut grass and roses, Sunday morning trips to Saugatuck for coffee or evening trips for ice cream with my spousal unit, motorcyle rides...
You may say, "but what about yard work, the bugs, the heat..."
And I would respond...
"I would rather pull weeds than shovel snow.
I would rather work my garden than go to the grocery store in desperate search some some sort of fresh produce.
I would rather pull on running shorts and a tank top and hit the beach to run than put on all my winter running layers and battle the snowy streets.
I would rather cook out on the grill than inside on the stove.
I would rather watch the birds fly around my deck feeders that watch the snow fly
I would rather sweat and soak in the sun than shiver any day!!!
I would rather swat mosquitoes than clean dirty slush off my car and out of my garage.
I would rather have all the house windows open letting in the fresh summer air than have the house closed up to keep out the cold"
The list could go on and on, but I should stop. I need not start complaining already of winter. (I had to give that up for Lent last year). One thing I do love during the winter is sitting by my fireplace with a good book, a glass of wine, and a snugly dog on a cold blistery night. And then there is always looking forward to my trips to Nashville to see Matt and Maggie and get a break from the snow:O)
So, Summer please hang on as long as you can!~bekuyps
thanks not early complaining about the weather, is it? :o)
