I know it is summer and we need to expect a bit of heat, but it has been seriously ridiculous here! We have had several days of around 41 Celsius. It has been really hot! I was thinking that it is a bit funny, cause I remember complaining about the cold just a little while ago, and now we are getting ridiculously hot days, I often feel like I will melt if I stay outside too much.
On really hot days you just don’t feel like doing much, the heat seems to drain you. Well, it drains me anyway. I thought most people were that way, but I met a guy the other day who was saying that the heat invigorates him. He said he loves working out on a hot day, prefers warm days to cold. I thought he was a bit crazy. I don’t know if he truly was or not, but probably not. People truly are just different in what they find enjoyable. Although really hot days I think the majority of people aren’t all that big on them. I personally have decided after a very, very cold winter that broke records and a summer that is shattering all sorts of records that I am ready for a place that is just in between those two extremes. I used to live in a place like that but moved because I honestly missed the seasons. Well, I did miss them but I don’t need these extremes to enjoy the weather.
It is just too hot to really enjoy any activity that has to do with the outdoors right now. Even swimming in a lake, pond or ocean would be unpleasant at the moment, mainly because of the sunburn you would end up with. The heat is ridiculous, and with not a cloud in the sky it is very unpleasant. I don’t want to complain too much here but maybe a cloud or two would be nice.

Summer appears to be here. The weather is beautiful outside, warm and inviting. Makes me want to go wander around outside for a bit this weekend. Have a lot to do, though, so may multitask and work on stuff outside while enjoying the sunshine.
The thing about summer is that after a cold and snowy winter you almost feel obligated to get outside and wander around. After having been stuck inside pretty much all winter, the outdoors begins to call to you. Even if you aren’t the outdoorsy type. The nicer weather makes a person actually consider getting up in the morning to take a walk or exercise, something like that. Going for hikes on the weekend is much more fun when you aren’t doing it in the snow. You can see the new plants, enjoy the scents of summer, the waterfalls and the forests. You could even go rock climbing if you were so inclined. There are all sorts of activities to do regardless of where you are.
Everybody at the coffee shops starts to move outside and many restaurants begin opening their outdoor areas, so everyone can enjoy the warmth while it’s here. That is important, because you have to store up the sunshine to last you through the winter. Otherwise everyone gets really depressed and despondent during the winter and then they feel depressed during part of their summer, and miss all the fun to be had playing outside. It is much more enjoyable to tackle water sports during the summer than it is during the winter, unless you are a card carrying member of the polar bear club. Even then I bet it is nice to enjoy a slightly warmer swim now and again.
After a long winter you really come to appreciate summer. The winter is good I guess, as it makes me feel more inclined to take advantage of the beautiful days. And, and it is so nice not to be freezing all the time now.
