Sergeant Beach Lady 100%! Look, when everyone else is enjoying a primo spot, every necessity for a perfect day and maximum amounts of fun, they can thank me!
I am a mix if them all (except the anti-summer) 😉
This made me laugh out loud because I’m the person who talks (often out loud) to plants on my walks in the summer. Glad to know there are others out there saying things like “well, look at you!”, or “how do you do that red? It’s incredible.”
Anti-summer but also flowers as a whole personality. But not hydrangeas.
Summer foodie! (But not tomatoes. Yuck!)
I like about a month of summer at most. Luckily I live in Scotland, so that’s about all we get.
August is very busy in Edinburgh though, and while it’s an exciting month for a lot of people I just count down until it’s over. There are too many people and it’s too hard to get anywhere. I’m already ready for September.
Definitely hydrangeas as a whole personality. I planted hydrangeas on all four sides of my house, and they make me so incredibly happy while they are blooming. I think about them in the winter and wonder at how much bigger they’ll be the next summer. They just delight me!!!
Sergeant Beach Lady reporting for duty! Except I don’t care what time we get there lol
I’m all 4 – but especially if you swap squash and tomatoes for hydrangeas, only because they don’t grow in my neck of the woods!
I used to thrive on summer, revel in the sunshine, embrace the “air you can wear”, worked hard in the garden and on my patio pots… Now, post menopause where I sweat just looking at my kitties sleeping in a patch of sunshine on the floor, I have been enjoying more movies in cold theaters with an unlimited plan to keep it cost effective.
My new favorite season, autumn, will be here in a month and a half on the calendar if not in temperature. (But sometimes my favorite season is always the next one because I love anticipation…)
I think I’m all four! I love hydrangeas, not crazy about summer heat, love fresh summer produce, and militant about sunblock!
LOUDLY anti-summer and it feels so freeing to declare it publicly lol. I hate when getting on the subway after work feels like entering the armpit of hell. There must be a sign on me somewhere that only mosquitoes can read saying, “All You Can Eat Buffet” and so they feast. Invite me to the beach and I will run for the hills, literally. But boy do I love a fresh, juicy peach with basil and grilled halloumi.
Struggling extra hard this summer with having to work full time while my kids (12 and 9) are home every day and my husband is often home. Sucks being the only one that has to go to work while everyone else is hanging out at home or doing fun stuff.
June: summer is finally here! Strawberries! July: embrace the lake! (MN shout out). Mid-August: dear God, will summer ever end? September: kids are back in school! All the apples!
Thank you for acknowledging the Quietly Anti-Summers. A flower doesn’t bloom in all seasons, and summer is not mine to bloom, but I’m not a joy stealer for those who love it!
Same! Winter is my favorite season :P
I am all four summer personalities, along with a few more. I am grabbing every morsel of summer while I can.
I think I am a healthy mix of all four! Although lately the pumpkin spice has been calling to me…
Definitely anti summer. I hate heat waves, sweating , too much sun . Never understood what people like about summer.
Same, Marlene. I’m originally from the South and I just wilt in heat AND ESPECIALLY humidity. It drains my energy.
100%. But it’s triple digits everyday in the summer where I live. My soul gets thin and almost desperate. Maybe that’s how people feel in the north in their long, dark winters. But I feel my sap rising again at the end of October.
Sergeant Beach Lady except Sergeant Hike Lady. We must beat the crowds to the trailhead!!

Haha, Emm, me too!
Although I am also a summer foodie, aka a person who plans entire meals around corn on the cob.
I’m a mix of the bottom two. Love my cold weather but will embrace summer because of all the seasonal produce.
Oh how I want to be a summer foodie because I love all the summer foods. Problem is, I hate to cook/prepare food! LOL. Perhaps one day I will learn to love it and bask in the glorious spoils of my local farmer’s market!
I would swap tomatoes and zinnias for hydrangeas, but I’m all 4!
Anti-summer for the win! I live in the PNW and every morning my house is enshrouded in fog and I can’t see the ocean is a happy day. Rain would be awesome!
Rachel, fog and rain are my dream. A Michigan or PNW summer would be perfection. I’m anti-summer because I’m in an Alabama summer.
Autumn will come, but for now I’m saved by air conditioning and blackout curtains.
Love this, Grace!! I am the summer foodie—with a side of sergeant fair weather cyclist (insists the whole family bikes to any play dates, activities, or errands to enjoy the good weather before the rain comes back).
Sergeant beach lady lol! I love summer, always will.
