When is the most likely time for you to sit outdoors? Do you have any particular ritual (ie, beer/soda in left hand, folding chair in the yard, on patio furniture) that you endulge in?
I sit outdoors a couple times a week, usually when I am grilling dinner. I love to just go out there and enjoy the end of the day warmth and smell that barbeque. I usually have water when I go out, because it is my beverage of choice and I sit on a picnic table we have out back.

Well sadly I live in an apartment complex and don't really have anywhere nice to hang out outside of my house... But we do go over to a buddies house quite a bit and hang out back of his home.. Watch his two year old try to skateboard, or play on his bike. He also has a halfpipe in his driveway so it's fun to watch the guys get broke on it...lol... My drink of choice would have to be sweet tea! and my butt is usually planted in a plastic chair that's a part of a outdoor table set. I like sitting outdoors in the shade, not so much the sun, i burn easily! lol... but I'd rather be outdoors than sitting inside watching tv.

I would rather have the best of both worlds. Play outside until it is time to come in and collapse in front of the tube.

Oh yes, when it's not too hot I love the outdoors. Sitting in my swing out there and drinking a nice tall glass of tea or lemonaide. Just watching the birds, squirrels and the deer when they are present just makes my day. It's a nice and relaxing time to enjoy.

i like sitting out doors any day of the year. in the shade that is. hehehe... be it summer or rainy season. all i need is a pitcher of juice or water, food my laptop and speakers and an extension wire. i could just stay outdoors all day long listening to music of any genre.
it seems like since im outdoors the music travels farther and could reach a lot more people and much better to listen to than being in a 4 walled room. its just relaxing.

i sit outdoors as much as i possibly can wen the sun is out...as soon as i wake up the sun is out so i do the same...sheet out on the grass shades on and not much else haha...cigs and maybe a glass of something nice hehe. sometimes a book, sometimes not. bbq are great near the end of the day, after all sunbathing is hard work. also quite fond of water fights even if it is with myself as nobody will join in willingly or not haha

It gets so hot here that I don't like to sit outside much because I can't handle the heat so well but when it is either not too hot or it is early enough in the day or late enough in the day to be cooler then sometimes I will sit in the backyard and watch the kids play. I like to sit in my favorite comfy chair with the cushion that my mom bought at a yard sale for $2 and I love having my iced tea with me. Then I like to prop my feet up on something, a kids toy or another chair cuz its comfy and I don't like bugs walking up my leg either lol

Sounds fun! Most times we spend the
late evening outdoors with our daughter.
It's not so hot so we can have fun as the
sun sets.
It's much too hot to be outdoors before five pm.
And the sun is too direct, so it causes
skin damage and burns. That is just the nature
of living in the South!

I like to get up early in the morning and sit outside reading before the sun is too burning this summer.In the evening, we usually take a walk after dinner, but seldomly just sit there outside.Walking and chatting, it is good for health, and also it is great time for relax after a hard workday.

I don't sit out during the summer, except in evening. We are used to go out and talking with norghbors in the evening. After supper, many people is outside to walk, after walking, we are sit near the house, then talking. I like this, it's cool down and sit enjoy the breeze.

Oh no, if i could stock all my needs inside my room for the whole summer season, i surely will. i do hate being under the sun. it irritates me, it weakens me, it's like all the pores of my skin can't breathe. it's just not my favorite season.

Yes, I like to sit outdoors in Summer. Its very relaxing to sit outdoors than being sweating in the house which will be having more temperature than outside. Sometimes it rains in the summer, those times it will be cool to sit outdoors and enjoy the scene where we can find rainbows and some worms getting out of the mud, we can play with those worms. I meant about earthworms.

I wish I could! I live in an apartment complex filled with the worst neighbors ever so there are constantly loose pitbulls, kids playing with fire crakers and throwing them at people and what not. I'm looking to move to another state this year and hope to find a place where I can enjoy some time outside in the evenings.

I love being outdoors in the Spring, Summer and Fall, but mostly Summer. I don't get to sit out much while my husband is at work, because I babysit our nephews and take care of my momma. When my husband gets home we usually sit outside in our folding chairs by our garden. I either have water or Dt Mt Dew and he has his tea. I love to just sit out there and have a quite talk with him and watch our garden.

Hello,
I love to sit on our porch during the warmer months . We have a nice glider that me and my fiance enjoy .
When I am out by the pool I like to chill in a lawn chair . I will lay back and spend much time reading a good book .
I also like to have dinners on the back porch .Still working on getting a table for the yard . I would love a bench !!
I enjoy waters and teas.
