I just don't go outside anymore.     I hear ya though.  We've had a nasty summer for bugs.  there's some bugs that hang out at night off our back deck.  I've never seen the likes of them before.  I've thought about getting one of those blue electric lights that will zap bugs.  Do you remember those things?  Do they even make them anymore?  My grandparents used to have them.  Listening to a big moth or grasshopper get into one of them was always good entertainment.

LOL.....yep, the old bug zapper.  My grandparents had one too.  I'm pretty sure you can still get them.  Another summer like this one, and I'll be finding out!

I like everything   through Christmas.  Jan and Feb blow.  March is usually bad, but you have that hope for spring around the corner.

I'm with you on the subject of cold. I hate it. 
As a young and not so bright person at the time I came very close to freezing to death on more than one occasion. Back then I thought it was a good idea to go hitch hiking in the dead of winter into the teeth of a blizzard.. 
Try getting stuck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere when the temperature is below zero with snow up to your waist for a few days then get back to me on your opinion of cold weather.. I suspect that your opinions of cold weather may just be altered somewhat.
