Friday five: Summer

*wry* Some interesting answers to this one.

1. What do you love about Summer?
   Who said I love summer? Summer is my bane and doom! I am not made to bake, grill, or swelter, and ever since we moved a state south summer has lost most of its charm for me. I used to like warm weather and the sun through the leaves and going to the lake (and the Lake), but that was when I lived in a reasonable climate.


2. How many times have you had a fun summer?
   Well, there are often fun things to do, as long as one remembers the sunscreen and bug spray and has access to shade. The most enduring example is probably the Ann Arbor Art Fair, which is annual. I've always been fond of paddle boating too, and spotting for the water skiers.


3. What do you most like to do during summer time?
   Stay indoors where it's a little cooler. I try to do most of my heavy garden work in the spring and fall so I don't have to go die of heat stroke. Which is not entirely an exaggeration, I actually got heat stroke doing garden work a few years back.


4. Do you like the place where you live?
   Not as well as I like the place where I used to live, which was about four hours north, and had a lot more north to resort to at need.


5. If given a chance, do you want to live in a tropical country?
   That would be a big En Oh. I would be hesitant even to visit for very long. I am a northern girl and weak against heat.
