And I miss the warm nights that exist in the area where my family lives. The "blue nights" as Joan Didion calls them. Those long blue twilight evenings in the early summer and late spring. Sitting outside at 9pm in 85 degree weather. Living in The SF Bay Area the nights usually turn cooler so I miss when it's like 110 during the day and 85 at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-small-joys-that-warmer-weather-brings-for-you#post-2520338 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 07:37:08 +0000 erinbaderin 2520338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's snowed 3 times this week and is currently -14, but the things I'm looking forward to are walking up to Starbucks on Saturday mornings, going for bike rides, taking B to the park after daycare, and sitting on the deck with a glass of wine.</p> <p>Oh, and flip flops!

I hate shoes &amp; socks. Also:<br /> - cool beers<br /> - walks after work/school<br /> - hikes in the mild morning weather<br /> - tank tops<br /> - caps instead of beanies<br /> - a few extra minutes in bed each morning because theres no ice to scrape </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-small-joys-that-warmer-weather-brings-for-you#post-2519898 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 13:30:40 +0000 Umbreon 2519898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My most simple joy of warm weather is when the sidewalks are no longer layered in ice.

It's a backyard crawfish boil. Very messy and delicious.

I love the warm weather so much (still waiting for it here in Boston though).</p> <p>Other nice things are:<br /> - Can just walk about the door instead of bothering with coat, hats, and gloves<br /> - No nasty salt and sand everywhere<br /> - Flowers, birds, the smells of grass<br /> - Can go for a walk or to the playground instead of hanging out inside<br /> - Al fresco dining!<br /> - Dresses and sandals<br /> - Leaving the house with my hair still wet and not worrying about it<br /> - Grilling<br /> - Fun festivals and outdoor events in the summer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-small-joys-that-warmer-weather-brings-for-you#post-2519735 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 11:44:52 +0000 youboots 2519735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: so this sounds awesome!

No coats, hats, layers. And then I love just walking everywhere with him, places that I would have said were too far in cold weather. </p> <p>@youboots: I LOVE bbqs and grilling. Can't do it in the city. 😢 We have a beach house and do it there but we are getting rid of it at the end of June. Prime BBQ weather!<br /> And I was just daydreaming about outdoor concerts today! </p>
