I love the fact that spiders freeze in the winter and they don’t come back until the next spring.  I love the leaves that fall in the fall.  I love them even more when someone else has to rake them even though I’d rather just leave them on the ground.  I love the lake in the summer but I don’t like big boats.  In the fall, the big boats all get hauled away.  I love that.  I really don’t love ski mobiles but I love it when I see them on the lake and know that I can imagine the ice breaking and them falling in along with their riders.  I don’t think I want the riders to seriously injure themselves but I love thinking of them getting totally wet and freezing their various body parts off.  I love white snow, except when I have to shovel it off the roof or scrape it off my car.

In the spring, I love seeing the trees growing new leaves and buds even though I know it means that the wood ticks will not be far behind.  I can always stay indoors with my cats.  That reminds me, I love my cats.  They are very funny and I think they love me.  They purr a lot when I’m petting them.  This could be just an instinct but I like to think of it as love.  I also love my computer, but I know it has very few feeling for me, one way or another.
