Re: What's your favorite thing to see every summer?

Toads, I love toads. I've watched several of them "grow up" and they're happy to let me pet them. Yep, toads.

Our cute, little, vintage 1962 wooden Chris Craft boat out on our lake! Just pulled it out yesterday and am getting it ready for the summer. Yippee!

Lucky You!  Please post a picture if you have a chance.

I love all the green – spring green.  It’s a wonderful respite after a barren winter.

I know I am in the minority, but I can't handle summer's heat and humidity, so what I look forward to seeing most is.....fall.  Smiley Sad


@scrubbie, I understand that.  I love fall too.  But I can't help but wish that my fall was as long to enjoy as my summer.

eeeeeeeeww, I just couldn't...but we have water out back, and I wonder what toad or frog does the sound that sounds like a large rubber band being plucked?  I grin everytime I hear that.  Sounds cute, but I have to pass.

Re: What's your favorite thing to see every summer?

I love:

 

The sound of lawnmowers

Hearing the kids outside laughing and playing

Seeing people out and about in their yards

Birds at my feeders

Sitting out on my deck drinking coffee in the morning

Extended daylight

Hanging at the boat dock with friends

Riding our motorcycle

Dining outside at restaurants or sitting on patios having drinks

 

What I don't like about summer is extreme humidity and sweating.  LOL

 

I also dislike the fact that my neighbors across the street will be outside having parties everyday of the week, into the night and sometimes wee hours of the morning therefore, we have to have our bedroom windows closed because they are so loud, we cannot sleep.

The hatches of chickadees and wrens from our birdhouses. The baby chippies. Saw the mink on the shoreline carrying a fish to what is probably a little family. Same for the otter.

 

Falling asleep to the sounds of the spring peeper frogs.
