Summertime
I had previously posted about how I love winter and the snow. Well now that it's almost the end of February and we have had PLENTY of snow for this season I am ready for the summertime and all of the fun activities that come along with it. I will be going to the beach as much as I possibly can. I will enjoy the outside warm, fresh air on a daily basis. I am going to swim in the ocean and as many pools as I can this summer because the feeling of cool water in the hot summer sun is the most amazing feeling I have ever felt. I will travel and visit friends and family to spend time together. I will go for long walks on the trails and maybe even venture outside of my comfort zone and go to the mountains to hike one time. I hope to take a trip with my family to an island where we can relax and do all kids of fun warm weather activities on the beach. The snow on the ground right now needs to melt and the sun, flowers, and grass will all bloom making everyone around us feel happy and excited to be outside each and every day!

I agree with you. I love the snow and bundling up but I have had enough of that this winter. I am ready for the pool, beach, sun and lots of time outside. Fingers crossed it comes sooner than it feels.
