Seasonal

Summer is a great time to have fun with family and friends. After a long Canadian winter, most people will be waiting for summer. Some people go away from the city for vacation, but we can really enjoy ourselves with our family and friends in our own city. My favorite summer activities are cycling, walking, and home gardening.

I like to ride my bicycle because it gives me more energy and my mind relaxes. Most of the time, I ride my bicycle with my lovely daughter. That time was really fun and I got better at exercising without going to the gym. Cycling has given me so much energy. We were singing and talking a lot without stress while we ride our bicycles. It really helped me to be more calm and worry-free.

Since I started walking, I felt free and got good exercising. I could see the rising sun, feel clear winds blowing, and heard bird's singing. In the early morning, while we were walking, it was really amazing to see the natural views. My friend and I were talking in the English language for improving my listening and speaking skills, while we walked. I felt free and got more confidence when we shared our happiness and issues. Walking is a good exercise for health, mind, and body.

Gardening is a good and enjoyable past time. In the summer, people raise/grow distinct types of vegetables, fruits and flowers. I have planted pumpkin, tomato, eggplant, chilly, beans, spinach, peas, carrot, radish, small onion, bitter gourd, and potato. Every day, I watered my plants in the morning and evening because sometimes it was too hot in the daytime. Gardeners know that watering helps plants to grow fresh and fast. When I went to my backyard, my daughter would come and play with me in the water. After, she helped to water the plants and cleaned up the garden. It was really fun for us. I introduced natural manure into the garden. Since I planted vegetables, day by day, I was so excited to see growing plants. Our home garden produced really organic vegetables, which are also very healthy and tasty for us.

Every year most people look forward to enjoying the summer. After a long winter of staying indoors, the summer is an important part of everyone’s life. Last summer we enjoyed ourselves with our family and friends. I spent lots of time with my children. Summer activities are lots of fun and good exercise too. Lasting and unforgettable memories are created in the summertime.
