5 things I want to do in every season

Hi friends, and welcome to the September Edition Share Our Lives. Today, I share 5 things I want to do in every season, from winter to summer, spring to autumn. Let’s go!

Winter

• I like to light a candle. IKEA is plain sharp, tea lights, fragrance, without aroma, a warm flame makes me feel a little more cheerful about the season that I at least like.
• Yes, I don’t like to get cold, so I will do anything to deceive myself so I don’t believe I don’t. For me, it often means having a virtual fireplace video with the sound of fire that hit on my TV screen.
• Eat Casserole! Yum for chicken casseroles or beef on a cold night.
• Drink Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, with or without Marshmallow. I am not fussy about Marshmallow, but hot chocolate must be Miss Switzerland. This is the best I feel, and I have tried everything our supermarket sold: Jarrah, Cadbury, Lindt, Nestlé. None of them approached!
• I wear a thick bed sock because if my feet are cold, the rest is also cold, no matter how much blanket I get to me.

Fiuh! I have to dig deeper to find five things I want to do in winter. Now it’s time to switch to my favorite season, spring and summer.

Spring

• I am not a gardener at all, but there is something about the excitement of seeing the sun and flowers begins to bloom which makes me want to grow something, whatever. I usually travel to Bunnings to buy some pots for the front garden. Then I just tried to remember to water them and pray for their survival.
• I like to sit in my front step and kiss my neighbor’s jasmine in the villa opposite us. This aroma is very strong so it disappears, and better is if I let the front door open only with a fly screen, you can even kiss it in the house. This is spring here, and I plan to go to Bunnings this weekend. Maybe I should buy jasmine plants.
• Open the window and shout hooray, this is spring! Just joking, I just opened the window – there was no scream.
• Go to Spring Fair or Octoberfest. My sweet and kind friend and I usually find a spring fair somewhere. Last year we went to Cronulla … or the previous year? Time goes very fast!
• Every year I say, “We have to have picnic.” Spring is a picnic weather, don’t you agree? I need to set one pronto!

Summer

• When I host a cousin connected in the summer, I like to eat in our yard with a long folding table, the fairy lights turn on, the music lights up and pretend we are in Italy.
• Drink Spritz Aperol
• Calculate days until the summer school holidays and get ready for Christmas.
• Find the roof bar, listen to live music, and enjoy night lights.
• I enjoyed going to my husband’s swimming club on Sunday morning when they had social, like BBQ. They do extraordinary BBQ. We spent last year’s season because he gave himself a year off after his knee replacement, but this year he will return. Note that I have not mentioned swimming or any water activity on my summer list. I am more than eaters than swimmers, and sand is clearly not my friend … unless I’m in Hawaii.

Fall

• I don’t like fall at all. To get out of my funk about the summer that ends, I like watching YouTube videos about the Autumn Comfortable in Nordic Countries. Colder weather always looks better on the other side of the world.
• Eat apples and ice cream. I can eat it anytime all year, but somehow it comforts me in the fall.
• Watch the film Hallmark related to “Autumn”. Autumn looks very fun in the northern hemisphere. There is a pumpkin spice everything (not because I really like the taste, I want to like it, but I don’t), apples, crispy leaves, scarves, boots, and of course, Halloween. All the comfortable vibrations that I hope we have here.
• Celebrate Easter!
• Calculate months until spring. Nonsense.

So that is, 5 things I want to do in every season. If you read from the northern hemisphere, you will see us doing different things here in Australia because our season is the opposite. And this is a fun fact: Actually there are more countries in the north than here, which is why autumn leaves, flask seasoning, and all the comfortable vibrations occur when we still enjoy summer.

And yes, that also means Christmas occurs in heat. Here, you can even find a Christmas postcard that shows Santa driving a surfboard, not slender. Funny, hey?
