What is your favorite season? Mine is Spring with Fall a very close second. How about you?

[debm55]

[marble falls]

1. Any one of them I'm still around to witness.

[debm55]

3. Thank you marble falls.

[True Dough]

2. Regardless of your favorite, get ready for this:

Personally, I'm a fan of spring and fall, just like you, deb.

[debm55]

4. Thank you very much, True Dough. PS I still enjoy that song.

[rsdsharp]

5. Fall. For lots of reasons.

It gets cooler

The leaves turn

Football!

Baseball pennant races and playoffs

The Holidays — Halloween, Thanksgiving, most of Christmas (Try telling a kid Halloween isn’t a holiday — second only to Christmas)

Did I mention football?

[debm55]

6. Thank you very much, rsdsharp. Yes, football and all the other that you mentioned.

[rsdsharp]

7. FU BAW!

[debm55]

9. HAHAHAHHAHAHA.Thank you.

[DBoon]

8. our seasons are floods, earthquakes, smog and fires

I have no particular favorite

- DBoon, Los Angeles

[debm55]

10. Oh , so sorry DBoon, That must be terrifying.

[DBoon]

11. actually, earthquakes are very rare

and overall the weather is nice. The wildfires are terrifying and it has been getting worse for the last 20 years.

My real favorite is late winter/spring - usually it has been raining and everything is green You can see snow caps on the local mountains.

[berniesandersmittens]

12. Winter

I love cold weather. Find it comforting to wear layers and curl up with tea and a book.

[debm55]

23. Thank you very much, berniersandersmittens.

[multigraincracker]

13. Four seasons for me.

Only they pass so quickly now at my age.

[debm55]

24. Thank you very multigraincracker for sharing with us.

[Polly Hennessey]

14. I'm an October baby.

Gotta love Fall. Did I mention I hate Summer.

[debm55]

25. Thank you very much, Polly Hennessey. Summer here, has been very hot and humid. As I have gotten older the Summer heat

gets to me. Enjoy the Fall.

[Jeebo]

16. Summer, because that's when it's NEVER cold.

I'm a Southern boy. I HATE cold weather.

-- Ron

[debm55]

27. Thank you Jeebo, Summer and winter are two seasonal extremes for me at my age. You enjoy the Summer days.

[OldBaldy1701E]

17. Summer! Beach weather!

Yep. Also a Southern boy and I do not like it cold.

So, I moved to Minnesota!

(I do miss being able to wear shorts almost year round. Growing up on and near the Outer Banks, we would sometimes be wearing big, parka-like coats, work boots, and cargo shorts. Out on the boat fishing... legs freaking red from the cold wind, nose running, wearing gloves and rain gear because of the spray... and still wearing shorts. Beach Bums Unite!)

[debm55]

51. Thanks for the great post, OldBaldy1701E. Thank you for the great post.

[nuxvomica]

18. When the ripening land exudes the bracing scents of autumn

and the frosty slumber of winter looms ahead in our thoughts
so that every hour of daylight becomes more precious
and every twilight more golden
and just breathing is itself a refreshment.
So, the fall.

[debm55]

52. That's beautiful. Thank you nuxvomica.

[Figarosmom]

19. Winter

I no longer have to go out and drive in the snow or start the car. I can enjoy the season now. I hate summer now, too damn hot.

[debm55]

53. Agree with you, Figarosmom.

[no_hypocrisy]

20. I prefer transitions more than actual seasons.

Like now where we're going from summer to fall. I look forward to the annual Indian Summer week-end in October.

[debm55]

54. Thank you very much, no_hypocrisy. I like the word transitions to describe the period between seasons. Thank you.

[Emile]

21. Spring 🌱🌼

[debm55]

61. Thank you very much, Emile.

[Harker]

22. Blackhawks hockey season!

[debm55]

31. Thank you Harker. Are you still playing hockey. I remember you told me once you played hockey.

[Harker]

35. I played pond hockey as a kid, but never anything more organized.

I can't even recall the last time I broke into a trot, Deb, and I've lost enough teeth on skates.

[debm55]

55. Sorry, Harker.

[Harker]

57. Known in hockey circles as "spittin' chicklets."

🦷

[debm55]

62. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH. Harker.

[SheltieLover]

26. Spring, with fall a close 2nd

[debm55]

60. Thank you very much. SheltieLover.

[anciano]

28. Fall 🍁

[debm55]

63. Thank you very much, anciano.

[Bluestocking]

29. Summer

I like warm weather and the pool is open

[debm55]

64. Thank you very much, Bluestocking. I really liked Summer as a kid. Now as a 70 year old. Spring and Fall are my favs.

[dem4decades]

30. Fall, if only it was followed by spring and then summer.

[electric_blue68]

40. Ha, I've had that wish occasionally! The leaves change color drop off...

and like, say, 3 weeks later new green shoots begin peeking out! 😄🩷

Oh, well. I had a freak accident on ice that left me w left arm/shoulder ripped rotator cuff muscles over 30 yrs ago. Nasty stuff, recovered. But as a dominant lefty I couldn't work for several months.
So winter became a more fraught experience! No snow, especially No ice!

I do like a clear batch of fresh clean snow, even still. It looks pretty sparkling in the sun.

[debm55]

68. Thank you very much, dem4decades.

[CrispyQ]

32. Fall! It's the most radiant season! And in so many places!

In Colorado, the sky is a shade of blue in October that you don't see any other month. Not everyday, of course, but on those glorious days the blue is so pure & deep. Pretty sure that's why the Broncos' colors are blue & orange, for the sky & trees in the fall.

[debm55]

72. Oh that is so great, thank you, CrispyQ

[CTyankee]

33. Fall. It is wonderful here in CT then. We have football at the Yale Bowl and our beautiful trees turn

into wonderful fall colors (esp. the maple tree my husband planted when we first moved in, over 30 years ago!).

[debm55]

73. How beautiful, CTyankee. Maple trees are lovely in the Fall. Thank you for sharing.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

34. Anything but fall. I have way too many leaves to rake.

That will start in another month or so. Bah.

[debm55]

74. HAHAHAHAHHA. Thank you very much, JustABozoOnThisBus. Don't remind me.

[Diamond_Dog]

36. I like each one as they come.

Except Winter is too long. It should only last 1 month.

[debm55]

75. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Agree, Diamond_Dog.

[catbyte]

37. Fall. The smell of the leaves crunching under my feet, the northern sun that's lower in the sky

gives everything a golden glow. The vibrant colors of leaves as they're changing. Football (don't judge me, lol), the crisp, cool air. I love it all.

[debm55]

76. Thank you very much, catbyte. Beautiful post.

[LogDog75]

38. Definitely Fall

The hot days of summer are over and Fall is just about right in temperature to do things comfortably outdoors. It's neither too warm or too cold.

[debm55]

77. That is why it is my close second. Thank you very much, LogDog75

[electric_blue68]

39. Near Mid-Spring through the rest of Spring. The Best of Summer (will explain)

My B-d is 3/21. It's usually the first partial to full day of Spring.
But it took me years to realize that in NYC it wouldn't begin to look like Spring untill about the second or so week of April when little bright spring-green tree leaves started coming out.
Then, the succession of beautiful colorful flowers! Flowering crab apples, and cherry trees!
(am I enthusiastic enough for you?! 😉 )

The best of Summer for me is low humidty, and around 78°F - 83°F being outside. It only happens part of the time. And I need some A/C even w this, especially at night indoors.
Then there are the humid days even at like 75°f°-85f°f. Yuck . I can take a dry 90°f - 91°fonce in while. Anything higher, and more humid - blah.

[debm55]

69. Beautiful post. electric_blue68

[electric_blue68]

84. TY, nice to recall particularly the beauty of Springtime as the days get darker, flowers fade away etc

[Dulcinea]

41. Summer. Closely followed by spring.

Spring in GA is beautiful! It would be perfect except for the pollen every year. But summer is & always has been my favorite time of year. Shorts & flip flops forever! I hate the cold. I've lived in GA for 36 years & I've lost my taste for long cold winters.

[Alpeduez21]

45. Right there with ya! About summer cause I live in VA

[debm55]

70. Thank you very much, Dulcinea. Lovely post.

[Mad_Dem_X]

42. Definitely Fall.

Love the cooler weather and the leaves changing color.

[debm55]

50. Yes, I love the beautiful shades of the leaves. Thank you very much, Mad_Dem_X

[justaprogressive]

43. Fall so long as I

don't have to go to school!

[debm55]

49. HAHAHAHAHHAHAH. Thank you very much, justaprogressive.

[Alpeduez21]

44. Summer! Everything else is a distant second

I work outside so it’s brutally hot and humid but I really like it. No jackets or long socks and pants. Just shorts and T shirts. The sun is out FOREVER. I just jump in water and it’s all good. I love cooking out. Yes definitely summer for me

[debm55]

48. That's great. Thank you very much, Alpeduez21.

[JMCKUSICK]

46. I like fall the best

The colors and the gift of cooler temps and less humidity make up for a long summer.

[debm55]

47. Thank you very much, John

[pandr32]

56. I agree!

Spring and Fall are awesome if you don't live in a tropical climate. I grew up in Canada and spent several years on the West Coast of WA State, so seasons figured prominently. Not so much here in Hawaii.

[debm55]

58. Thank you very much, pandr32. Hawaii sounds terrific.

[pandr32]

79. Being far away from the mainland seems good...

right now.

[Tikki]

59. Summer..where I live in SO CAL/Central Coast our Summer has..

just begun.
We did not have an August rain here..usually do.
Summer usually runs on through October..once in a while up to Thanksgiving, with the warm Santa Ana winds
some times right through to the end of the year.


Tikki

[debm55]

66. Sounds great. Thank you very much, Tikki.

[whathehell]

65. Spring, with summer close behind. n/t

[debm55]

67. Thank you very much, whathehell.

[whathehell]

89. You're always welcome, Deb.

[ProfessorGAC]

71. I Love Golf In The Fall

Light sweater, cool weather, leaves start changing colors.

[debm55]

78. Yes, that sounds wounderful, ProfessorGAC. Are you still subbing in school?

[Duncanpup]

80. Spring my friend.

[debm55]

81. Thank you very much, Duncanpup.

[mike_c]

82. any season that isn't summer

Basically October - April. Come on October!

[debm55]

85. HAHAHAHA. I hear ya, Thank you very much, mike_c.

[doc03]

83. Summer and fall too much rain and overcast sky in winter and spring. nt

[debm55]

86. Thank you very much, doc03

[MIButterfly]

87. I like all the seasons; I just get tired of winter the fastest (usually about three weeks in).

If I had to pick one, I guess it would be spring. New beginnings and all.

I basically just wanted to respond to tell you how much I enjoy your questions. I look forward to them every day. You are a treasure, debm55!

[debm55]

88. Thank you very much, MIButterfly
