Thursday Thirteen #7

Thirteen Things about Summer I long for 1.... The Heat - After a week with a wind chill of minus 40 and longer I need things to warm up. 2.... The Sun - Ok so we see the sun in the winter, but its different almost impotent in a sense. I want the hot blazing sun back. 3.... My Neighbors - I have amazing neighbors, but we all disappear in to our houses come winter and rarely go out. 4.... Outside - Like my neighbors I to hide inside in hopes of staying warm when really what I want to do is go outside. 5.... The Chewie Feast of Goodness - Three years ago I got dentures due to really bad English teeth. Once my mouth was healed up We held a massive BBQ with much steak and meat that was dubbed the Chewie Feast of Goodness. It has become an annual event since then. 6.... The Festivals - Winnipeg and Manitoba has a lot of great festivals including a couple that all of you will get to hear a lot about over the summer. My personal favorite is the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, two weeks of theater, improve, poetry and great shows. The second one is the Manitoba Folk Festival a great music festival at Birds hill park. 7.... The Beach - I love to get out of the city for the afternoon and spend the day at beach with friends. 8.... Parks - Manitoba has thousands of little parks all over the province. I avoid them in the winter in search of warmth. They really are a lot of fun, Maybe I'll even go Geocaching again. 9.... My Fire pit - One of the first things we did for our home is to build a fire pit in the backyard. Its been the site of many great nights and will be for many more. 10.. Rain - Now the only moisture that falls from the sky right now is snow and am sick of it. I want rain that I can dance in. 11.. The Colour Green - Everything is white, or gray, or that dirty colour that snow gets through being driven on. I want to look out my windows and see the green field across the street and the green leaves on the trees. 12.. A warm Breeze - The only breeze we have in the winter is the one that makes things colder that we call wind chill. 13.. No Jackets, scarves, gloves - Every time I want to go outside right now its Heavy Jacket, Scarf, and gloves. Then we still hope to be warm enough and not feel the wind. In the summer I'll be wearing shorts and t-shirt and enjoy the breeze.
