Have you ever noticed how peoples priorities change with the weather and the seasons? It is not totally surprising, because some things you can only do in certain weather or at certain times of the year. I can totally understand pushing something seasonal to the front of your things to do list, I just think it is a shame when you do not just drop things down on your list but somehow they drop completely off the list when the weather gets warmer. lol
Lets take summer for instance EVERYONE wants to get outside in the summer 
. That is a good thing, but I have a couple friends when the weather starts getting warmer they forget about everyone and everything that helped get them through the boring cold winter. If you give them a fishing pole and some bait this time of year you will not see them till fall. Ok maybe I am exaggerating A LITTLE, but that is what it seems like. lol What kills me is one of them does not even eat the fish he catches. I mean really what is the point of setting on a river bank for hours in the sun with the bugs to maybe catch a little fish just to let it go? If I was to put that much effort into catching something you better believe it I am going to eat it.
I am not usually much of an outside person. I do not like bees or spiders or mosquitos, and the main reason is because I have had bad encounters with them in the past. Most of my childhood I was covered with mosquito bites. I was an adult before I found out I had a zinc deficiency, and that was why they liked me so much. Mosquitos will not bite you if you have enough zinc in your body. I recommend 25 mg a day if you know you are going to be around mosquitos to keep from being bitten. When I was 4 or 5 I was attacked by a swarm or bumble bees and stung badly all around my eyes. I could hardly see for over a week. Luckily there was not any real permanent damage other then a sensitivity to light that remains to this day. I have 3 bad scars from spider bites. If you have never been bitten by a spider, try not to be! It is a bad bite and takes forever to heal. The one took nearly a year even with medicine from the doctor to help it. It was on my leg and hurt every time I walked. That is why I am not the out doors type. My boyfriend said he would take me camping and I told him NO WAY YOU ARE GOING ALONE. I do not do camping. I went one time when I was a kid with my brother and wound up sleeping on rocks and getting a bad sunburn. I said never again. Give me a soft blanket, a TV, a computer, some good books and a craft project or 2 and I am happy.
I miss my friends when they take to the outdoors, but I would never begrudge them their fun life is too short to not do EVERYTHING you want to do. I would also advise doing it as young as you can, because old age makes you not have as much energy.
