Welcome back to Toni's Tuesday 4! We need
to enjoy every season to the fullest even those of us for whom summer is not the favourite season.
1. What do you like to do in the summer?
Sad to say that summer is not my favourite season. Primarily because it is too hot. So what I like to do to avoid heat is to stay indoors and sit as still and as quiet as possible. It's my time for watching television, reading and doing slow housework. When I have more time I like to go to the beach and have a nice walk to enjoy the ocean breezes and spectacular scenes.
Summer is also usually the time I enjoy having a visitor or two but the last few years this didn't happen. Hopefully next year. This year I've been spending a lot of time downsizing and doing small DIY projects so I can enjoy the months ahead.
2. What is your favorite summertime food and beverage?
My favourite summertime food is probably a well done cheeseburger with potato salad and a very cold lemonade with ice (not too sweet) or a iced coca cola with lemon juice. Oh, and let me not forget many varieties of ice cream and fruits, especially watermelon to quench the thirst. In former days I enjoyed having a Mr. Misty Float from the Dairy Queen. I had a few this summer but now I find them too sweet and tart at the same time.
3. How do you beat the heat?
I beat the heat by sitting indoors at home or in an air conditioned coffee shop. When I go outdoors I tend to walk in the shaded areas as the sun is too hot for me.
4. What do you really like about the summer season?
