Summertime

What is your favorite thing about Summer? I love all the flowers, eating outside, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

What is your favorite outdoor activity?  Photography.

If you had to choose, would you prefer to be too hot or too cold? I prefer it to be too cold.  There are only so many layers of clothes you can take off when it is too hot, but you can pile it on when it is too cold.  Plus, there is nothing better than snuggling under a mountain of blankets, the fire roaring, and watching a movie or reading a book.
 
Does your appetite increase or decrease during warmer months?   My appetite neither increases nor decreases, but they do change.  I crave different things to eat.  In the summer, I crave cold foods, fresher foods, and cold, chocolate pudding.

What is your favorite seasonal Summer fruit? Raspberries, cantaloupe, and peaches.

Would you prefer to spend a hot summer day at the mall or at a swimming pool? Swimming pool.  If I had the money, I'd build a pool in my back garden.  I would live in water - if possible.  However, I would rather it be an indoor pool.  I don't like being in the sun.

Are you more likely to tan or sunburn?  I now sunburn.  When I was younger, I would tan to a deep golden brown and it didn't take much for me to get there.  All in all, I just prefer to stay out of the sun.  I like my pale skin.

How does your routine change when Summer begins? It does.  When it gets too hot outside, I find my sleeping patterns change so that I'm working more at night - when it is cooler.  I'm also a lot more casual about my work.  I tend to get less done in the summer than in the autumn, winter, or spring.  I believe it is because I'm too hot to concentrate on work.

What is the temperature outside where you are today? 83 degrees which is too hot for me.  I'm far more comfortable when it is 70 degrees or less outside.

What is your favorite Summer holiday?  I don't really have a favorite summer holiday.  However, if I had to pick something, I would pick Labor Day.  Not necessarily because it holds some sort of significance but merely because it brings with it a 3-day weekend.
