Share Our Lives: 5 Things We Like To Do in Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall

This month the Share Our Lives bloggers asked us to post about "5 things we like to do in winter/spring/summer/fall." I've been thinking about this post for awhile as the topic is very wide ranging. However, in thinking about it, I realized there are things I look forward to in every season. As a reminder, the Share Our Lives bloggers are Sarah, Dara, Joanne, Adrienne, and Jen.

Fall

Since we're currently beginning our fall season, some of my favourite things to do are attend our city's LUMEN festival, enjoy all the gorgeous fall leaves surrounding us, attend all the fall dance performances Rachel is involved in, bake muffins, and read.

 

 


Winter

In the winter months I like to watch Hallmark movies (in November and December only), buy lots of tulips, walk in the woods or on my favourite path, do puzzles, and read in bed under a blanket with a cup of hot tea.

 

Spring
 
Spring is my favourite. I have so many things I love to do in the spring -- work in our yard, watch baseball (starting with Spring training), read outside, hang my laundry outside, and plant pansies!


Summer
 
In the summer I like to be in our yard as much as possible (deadheading day lilies and sitting outside to eat all my meals are my favourites!), go to Blue Jays games (and other baseball games too!),  travel,  enjoy our CSA vegetables, and hang out with friends.
Of course there are many other things I like to do but these are some of the seasonal things you can find me doing almost every single year. I have to say that while I know that I really look forward to many things in each and every season, trying to write about it was hard. I'm looking forward to reading the other posts in the link up, both to see what things I forgot about and also to find some new ways to enjoy each season!

  1. I like how reading features a few times, just in different locations!

  4. I love watching Hallmark movies in autumn, they make the season look so magical! I’m such a cranky pants about the cold weather, but those movies almost convince me otherwise (almost!).

  5. The Lumen festival looks fantastic, I do love this season, at the moment I think it's my favourite.
    The tulips are a lovely way to brighten up your home in the winter.

Thank you for being interested in my life as I blog it and for leaving a comment. Comments make me happier than reading a good book and drinking a cold Coke. Almost :)
