The top 3 things we’re looking forward to most when summer returns
Although winter has been very pretty and I wouldn’t change where we are living, winter has been very long and very cold with a lot of snow. We are ready for spring to come and put an end to closed highways, snow days off school, and wind so cold it hurts your face. So here is the top 3 things we are looking forward to most with the return of summer.
1) Swimming in the Lake
We are aware that the lake will be quite frigid for a while after spring arrives, but we can’t wait for the ability to go swimming right outside our house again. We spent so much time in the water in August and September, it being one of the best things after a hard day of work fixing up the place.
2) Longer days
For most of the winter, sunset happens at about 5 pm, which means there is not a lot of daylight once the little one gets home from school. In summer, sunset is about 9 pm, which gives us far more time for work and play. Not to mention, the darkness does get tiring at about the end of winter.
3) Warmth!
Especially given how drafty, and thus how cold, our house has been all winter. Definitely looking forward to being warm and having to jump into the lake because we are too hot. Looking forward to saving money on wood and propane, and having it warm enough to do work outside again.
So that is what we are most wishful for as we look out our windows and still see piles of snow. Please follow our Facebook page for some additional photos and to never miss a blog post. See you next week where you’ll see what we’ve up to this week as well as next, and, as always, thank you for reading!
