Heya!! Well, I'm great and summer has been treating me bad. If it's not the wind, it's the way too many things weather.
1. It's windy and windy and windy and so windy. And the wind is something I'm scared of so you can already guess my mood. 😭😂
2. The weather does change my mood. When it's hot, I'm less happy but when it's raining, God help me, I feel like everything is working on my favor. I'm way too happy. ❤️
3. For summer, I'm inside the house reading loads of books, knitting, writing books and same goes for winter. But I enjoy those activities more in winter because that's where I'm at my best. ❤️❤️
@thandocilo Hi there!
Actually you are right wind is scary. When it was a windy day my horses used to get all scared and dance around, it was like they knew something was in the wind, they would snort and whinny and rear up, they hated it so often they would stay in the barn or their stable. Windhaters lol!

Thank you for posting this beautiful check-in!
I will browse the Hobby Zone threads I have still not read.
Answering your check-in questions:
1. I live in the Southern Hemisphere, in a big, humid city on the coast of a very very wide river. We are in the middle of winter now, so bad weather is to be expected. However, these days have been more like Spring, with temperatures reaching 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit), and sunny with a pleasant breeze. Perfect weather to me!
Might this (and the Northern Hemisphere heat wave) be due to global warming?
2. Weather impacts too much my mood. Sunny days make me happier, and cloudy, grey days bring me a bit down.
3. Winter and Summer are very similar to me with respect to preferred activities. Both seasons tend to keep me indoors. Winters are rainy and cold (except for this mini-Spring we are enjoying now) and Summers are heIIish here. So reading, drawing, listening to music and playing videogames get the first row during both hostile seasons.
But Autumn and Spring are very pleasant, so I tend to stay more outside, mostly going for long walks, cycling, and rollerskating. Also making sketches and taking photos of things that capture my attention during walks.
@HealingTalk Thanks for that reply. I am thinking that hobbies do change per weather and season then?

@MistyMagic
Yes, definitely!
"For everything, there is a season, and a time for every activity under the Sun"
In my case, I am an "opportunistic omnivore..."
Like a bear, when there are salmons, I eat salmon, when there is honey, I grab honey, when nothing else is available, I munch grass...
@MistyMagic
Hey thank you for that amazing question.
1) the weather is turbulent here HAHA. It will be sweltering hot one moment and pouring the next.
2) I get tired on a very hot day, so that may affect my mood. But I LOVE RAINY DAYS, BE IT BEING EMO OR BEING HAPPY, IT FEELS SO NICE!!! (i am sorry technically illegal cause community guidelines, but you get what I mean) The rain brings out the inner me. And the dark atmosphere, without much light, gives me comfort and the nice wind goodness thats amazing.
3) I dont really have a different hobby for the seasons (I live on the equator, there arent seasons here HAHA)
@SmileSravani on the equator wow! So what kinds of hobbies do you like? Do you have a garden or can you tell us about plants and trees around you? Are there any?

@MistyMagic
oh hey! I do have alot of plants outside my house. And Singapore's government emphasises on being a Garden City, so we do have a lot of greenery here. My hobbies? I have a long list, but I haven't really been able to pursue them recently as I have been quite busy: Reading, Dancing, Writing Poetry, or random stories or scripts, and play some random sports. I dont want to leave an exhaustive list. Cause I do what I want to at the moment HAHA.
@SmileSravani Sounds great. I know what you mean by being impulsive regarding hobbies too!
Have you seen @WorriedMagpie s challenge about photographing plants? Would be great to have some of yours!

@MistyMagic
Oooh cool, I will try it out
Weather never change my house whole time we move here January and stay same whole time is little warm or little cold and usual sunny outside but I wish gets hot here I miss hot outside but I do same winter summer I go surf play soccer skateboard ride dirt bikes ride regular bike go hikes
@MistyMagic
Since I live in a tropical country and we are now expecting the moonsoon rainy season from time to time, it makes me feel happy and gloomy at the same time.
I like the rain cause it feels calming, cold and it's a nice weather to read a book while drinking something hot. But too much rain turning into storm can be devastating and stressful.
I love singing it's one thing I can do in and out of the house hahaha.
Thank you for this lovely check in @MistyMagic!

- I'm actually a bit more active during colder weather because I can't stand being sweaty and then having to get back home in hot weather on top of that is awful for me 😅
