Seasons

[Smithy]

Which seasons do you like best?

Summer, Spring, Autumn or Winter?
I love Winter months.. cold, dark and wintry weather makes me feel more cosy in my home.

I prefer the summer and spring months. I don't like the winter nor fall.

The winter and fall cause a lot of aches and pains, especially due to the fact that I broke my ankles before, so they end up flaring up in the colder months.

I prefer the summer.

I like spring the most. In winter I spend a lot of time planning what I will do when things thaw out and complaining about the cold. Spring I can start getting ready for the garden, foraging, cleaning up...Summer I can dig in, mow and mow and mow, complain about the heat. Fall is apple and harvest time. Putting up apples! Yum and garden produce. I like having a lot of tomatoes in storage. Wild food dinners...

Spring and Autumn

I love autumn, especially when the foliage is at its peak. And my birthday is in October, which probably has some influence. I hate the heat and humidity of summer, and am always glad when it starts to cool off.

I agree.. I also like the orange/red leaf colours on trees.

Spring. It's just a fun time of year!

Spring and fall now that I'm old.

Winter.

I would have to say spring is my favourite season. I love it when the weather gets warmer but not too warm and I love seeing the flowers bloom, leaves grow on the trees and the lighter nights

I really enjoy spring. Everything here is brown, ugly and dead looking for most of the winter. I do not like snow, but at least the places where they have snow are white and pretty.
In spring, everything starts turning green, the weather is warmer, and flowers come out. Summer is just hot and humid here in Alabama, but we have a small above-ground pool out in the back yard and we spend a lot of time in that during the heat of summer.
It is not large enough to swim in much, but plenty big enough for Bobby and I to lay on the pool floats and stay cooled off and get a good suntan.

Sometimes, even Poodle comes in the pool. He has his special shark suit to keep him afloat. He is actually white, but looks grey in this picture because he is wet.

I like spring but this pollen is making me miserable. Maybe after the pollen is gone .......

It does put a damper on things. My walks stopped for a few days because of high pollen count.

In Pennsylvania, we enjoy all four Seasons. We try to enjoy the whole package!

Looks like Winter is the most favorite season so far.

Winter is definitely NOT my favorite season ! Here , winter is cold, wet, and dreary. Everything is brown, trees are all dead for the winter, and even the grass is brown.
Places that actually have snow can enjoy the pristine whiteness, and the cold if they like that part, or snow activities. We do not get snow here except for maybe once each winter, and even a half inch of snow shuts everything down and causes huge car wrecks, because no one in the south is prepared for snow or ice, and most have no clue how to drive on an icy road.
There are no snow removal trucks or sanding trucks like northern states have to deal with winter; so all they can do is tell everyone to stay home and off the road until it melts back off.

My daughters who live in coastal Washington opine that winter there is actually darker than here because we have snow, and they generally do not. They have cold, wet miserable weather. When we lived in Georgia, the winters were not much different than the summers here with an occasional cold spell...which we get her as well but the cold spells there seemed colder since the was not real central heat ( at least not to the standards here. Central heat and AC made things better if you didn't go outside.

Having lived both here and in western Washington, I can agree that winter there is pretty dismal, and almost the same situation when it does snow. However, because Washington has the high mountains and the passes over the mountains, they can actually get snow removal equipment when it is needed there, unlike here, where there is simply none to be had anywhere.
It seems to me like the grass out in Washington stayed green year around, but here it is some kind that dies or goes dormant in the fall, so even that adds to the dreariness.

I would much prefer to live back on the west coast of either Washington or Oregon, if that were a possibility, even the summer humidity is much less than it is out here in the South.
That is not to say that Huntsville does not have its benefits, one of those being some of the best doctors available. If we had not moved here, i probably would have died years back, so there is that to be thankful for.
