    I so understand your feelings towards summer. I’m a spring and fall girl myself. I live in Florida and the summers here can be quite brutal. But your video is spot on - stay in the present, that’s where one finds peace. ✌️ ❤

    I have had the very same discussion with myself this summer - really disliking the heat. Now I try to imagine how much I enjoyed it as a kid and I put myself in that place and I am able to see it better.🌷

    Thank you so much for such a lovely video🌾🌿 As myself and my loved ones get a little grayer with each passing season, I have become more conscious of how quickly time passes us by when we are not truly living in the moment. With our busy, and often draining lives, it can be tempting to just tune out and turn off by turning on the tv or scrolling through the internet. That can be a necessary form of self care some times, but I have found it can become an easy habit that robs you of precious moments of creativity, exploration and quality time with loved ones.
    Doing simple things to romanticize and be mindful, and more than anything, allowing my mind to wander, has helped me get back in touch with the world, people and animals around me. It has has also helped me get back in touch with my creativity and imagination. It seems so obvious, but I have recently come to appreciate how important it is to allow ourselves to become "bored" so that our minds have the chance to wander, create, and ponder.
    This life is so precious and fleeting and full of incredible wonders. And more than that, those whom we love won't be with us forever. Don't let it all pass you by.🌿🌾

    I too love the winter and the spring, as me and my black rescue greyhound Madge do not do well in the hot sun of summer. So we are enjoying June in West Devon, England, as it is only about 15 degrees centigrade, and that is just lovely! We are in the country, and love our walks - we saw a beautiful hare this morning, and rabbits on our lane - we are so lucky. xxx

    Dear Haley, thank you so much for this video and your lovely videos in general! I love the outstanding quality, the vibrant colours and how much love and effort you put into every single one of them ✨💛
    Thanks for your summer tips! I also struggle a lot with summer and its heat and it makes me sad to see all the others enjoying the warm weather and sun while I suffer. Thanks to global warming it's getting worse year by year. But it makes me appreciate the other seasons even more and I'm grateful that we live in a place with four different ones.
    I'm always excited about your videos and hope you'll get many more subscribers soon - you more than deserve it! 🍀
    Sending you a big hug and love from beyond the pond 💙

But thank you for reminding me that we don’t have to wait until the weekend to have fun summer nights out, that’s a brilliant point I’m going to take inspiration from.

I get caught up on movies and tv shows, finish projects and take nice day trips around my area. Even the sounds and smells of Summer always bring me joy. I love the other three seasons, but the "wildness of Summer" holds great magic for me. Thank you again! Have a wonderful week! 😊💖🙏🏻

    As a mom with two kids, summer quickly lost its appeal for me with bored kiddos always under foot or fighting or complaining. I lost some of my peace during summer, so I kind of endured it. Luckily, that phase of life is swinging back around again as the kids are now teens and easier to entertain, haha.
    Cooking and baking with seasonal produce is also something I want to be more aware of and what better way to support that than going to a farmers market! Love this so much. Your meals looked colorful and delicious 🤩 proud of you Miss Haley, for being aware of the lack of enthusiasm for Summer and consciously injecting more fun into the season for yourself 💖

And I hope you and your family get to enjoy lots of delicious seasonal produce this season--it is just SO good! Sending you the biggest hug ❤️

    I was feeling slightly unmotivated and unsure of where to start for June, but your video has once more done its magic.
    I'm starting to form ideas, but also accepting that it takes time sometimes to transition from one season to another, and it doesn't simply happen.
    We can take small steps, and create the magic, as well as the excitement ourselves instead of waiting for it to make its entrance.
    Thank you as always ❤

    Does it get really hot where you live? Because that's one of the reasons I don't like Summer, is that it gets really hot and can barely get two thoughts straight. It's much lovelier when I visit my parents in Portugal, as they live by the coast and there is always a breeze. I do miss picknicks and wish I had a lovely forest not far, but I'll make do with what I do have. A bucket list is a excellent idea to get into the mood of Summer ! Take care, dear friend 🥰

    Well there's another thing we have in common, summer is definitely not my favorite either, lol. But what a beautiful reminder to find joy in every circumstance. I have been trying to make time each day to sit outside and just be present. I listen to the birds, watch the bees, and let my cat play in the yard. Even if it's just for a few minutes, I can feel the difference in my spirit on the days I'm able to do it. The facial mist in the fridge is genius! I get overheated easily and I can see this being a lifesaver. I made lemon and cucumber water the other day and it was so refreshing. Your windowsill garden looks great by the way! Thank you again for all your wonderful tips and advice. Sending summer hugs!

    i just came across your channel and this is my first video watching. So beautiful. Love your creative side (i am very creative too) and the soothing pace of the video. I must say, i had the same feelings towards one of the seasons - winter, which for a very long time i didnt like, but i am learning to enjoy it, just like you, by being present. I love late spring and early summer the most, when the flowers are in full bloom, the greenery is fresh and smells in the air are simply magical, it is full of butterflies and here where i live (Bucharest, Romania) there are lots of linden trees that fill the mornings and evenings with a hypnotic scent. And then, there is also the majestic beauty of fall, but this also came late in life for me, to love it, and i still think that there is nothing more magical than flowers, bees and butterflies. The only downside to summer is the heat these days, but daily walks in the biggest park with a lake nearby my house during early mornings are still deeply fulfilling.

Before that I will celebrate Midsummer day, finding joy and peace rather than pressuring myself to enjoy things to the fullest, being there in the moment and letting magic come to you is the best way to achieve happiness, I need to reconnect myself to my heart and that's what I'll do

I felt 20 degrees cooler just seeing all the lovely green surrounding you. I am a Maryland native and somehow, I forget the humidity that goes along with all the green. So, I will make the most of the summer days and try to find the calm and adventure in each day as I patiently wait for cooler weather!
