Summer nice

At least if you live in a place that isn't on fire or cooking to death for its entire duration

I just like seeing trees blob-no-thoughts

Saw a deer moments before taking this photo ferret

(me, seeing a deer when it's 95F and 90% humidity, also my hat has a palestine flag and is hamas green)
- The worst experience I had with humid weather was when a bowl of cheetos left on a table turned soggy overnight
  
  you are a strong person for surviving this hardship and I hope that you can recover some sense of normalcy as the years progress
  
  I just saw a deer, she looked too fuckin warm

My mom sent me a picture the other day of a black bear that climbed their cherry tree on a beautiful 70 degree day

It’s 98 degrees here and the sun hurts on my skin
- 98 F works out to... almost 37 C
  
  I would simply perish
  
  Also I'm happy I don't need to worry about seeing a bear this far south. Had a mama moose(or rather, elk) and her calf cross the road in front of me while I was walking home to my apartment one evening a few summers ago and that was already too 2spooky4me
  
  it's rare but it can get as high as ~106 (41 C) where I live
  
  & I live in a house with poor insulation and no air conditioning
  
  Yeah, it’s vile. I’m moving out of Florida at the end of July and it can’t come quick enough. The last few years the heat has gotten soooo bad.
  
  And thankfully it was just a black bear in Virginia, so just a little guy who wanted some cherries. If it was a grizzly it’d be a lot more concerning lol
i am in one of those increasingly uninhabitable during summer places. but i also love green trees, hate the winter.

even autumn makes me sad because winter is coming. spring is the best, because longest time until winter!!

not looking forward to only seeing nature from inside, short bursts into 95F/85% and from my car window

but i found some hiking locations within a half days drive at significant altitude so all hope isn't lost! high enough that it never goes above 70F

(pics look very far north compared to where i am)
- I've noticed myself getting sadder when the end of summer approaches as I get older. Feels shorter every year Hell, it's already less than a week until summer solstice and then it's going to start getting darker again
  
  Actually, sunlight is a big component of why summer is so important to people in the north. You go from the sky being pitch black after 3 PM at around Christmas to the Sun never quite fully setting around Midsummer
  
  maybe through some wizardry we can get cool summers/mild winters combined with subtropical summertime light levels
  
  honestly living at high altitude near the equator is the closest thing to that
Is this North America?
- No, Finland
After Melbourne recorded it coldest day in five years yesterday, parts of south-east Australia today have shivered to their coldest maximum in up to 27 years.

😅
- 8 degrees? I assume Australians are freezing solid like in a cartoon
