Winter and snow is nice and all around Christmastime…but once December 25 passes, what’s the point? Here are a list of just a few of the things I miss so dearly about summer.

1. Green

2. Blue skies and green grass

3. Having the beach look like this…

Instead of this…

4. Shorts

5. And short sleeves

6. Being this happy to be outside (Even if others don’t share your enthusiasm)

7. The Lake-front trail

8. And biking in general

9. Speaking of biking, also hiking…

10. The sun staying out past 8 pm

11. The roads looking like this…

…instead of this…

12. Taking the water taxi

13. Festivals

14. Did I mention the beach?
