dreaming of a warm beach......
What are some of your favorite "hot" summer day activities?

I like to go to the beach or boating. In Minnesota we have a limited amount of time to spend at the beach or on the lake so I try to take advantage of it.

You mean like today? It's a whopping 56 degrees! Yes, folks, I typed it correctly

Anyway, back to the question . . . we like to go up North to the cabin.

It's a beautiful cool dry 74 degrees out here in Cincinnati today. The perfect day to go to the zoo, but I'm stuck at work!

I love going to the part and taking a nice walk or going to the zoo to visit the silly animals.

It's a toss-up between swimming or taking a nap!

It is unseasonally chilly out today. That is why I started thinking about "hot" summer day activities. Not too many left this summer.

98 with 100% humidity in south La. Some of our favorite activities include staying inside for air conditioning, and staying inside for air conditioning while drinking.

Maria, go out and find a copy of "Noah" by Bill Cosby on one of his comedy albums. Bring it in and play it for your staff.....

Sounds like West Michigan. Last I checked it was 62 at 3:00 PM. Throw in the 20 MPH "breeze" and that persistant drizzle and it's a beautiful day.

When we have summer I enjoy golf and gardening. The garden got a late start this year because of the weather but it's going like gang busters now. The golf, well . . .

Northern Minnesota here and the furnace kicked on this morning!! On a hot summer day I like to head to the lake with a cooler of beer and an air mattress.

Further South than I wanna be.
We broke a record low here in KC this morning and it is expected to be colder tomorrow morning. It is a whopping 69 right now. I am not complaining tho. I will take this over the 90s any day.

True - I can always put on more clothes (as I remind myself when it's -30!) It's warmed up to 60 now

86 (that's positive not negative) degrees and sunny 24 hours a day here I just purchased a townhouse on a lake so my current favorite thing to do is sit on the deck and sip reisling while watching the loons and the fish jumping. We also have two baby moose under the deck quite often and a family of 11 geese hanging around.

I should go inside and paint because the entire house is decorated in pink...but the reisling calls

Griping about the heat and counting the days until fall ushers in cooler weather and NFL football.

Here today it's going to be about 73, which is approximately 15 degrees below normal. It's gorgeous and I have my windows open.

We are supposed to hit the mid to upper 70s by this weekend. Today is supposed to be the last day with highs in the 60s (if you can trust what the weather people say!). I think I saw 80s for next week!! I don't mind the cool weather so much but having the furnace on in August is just wrong.
