What's your favorite season and why?

[Amy10223]

I like the fall--but I can't deal with what comes after--winter. So I think spring is my favorite, just when it begins to warm up. Plus, I love rainy days. You?

[nightdrot]

First, let me compliment you - you are wise beyond your years in choosing spring. You have obviously been bestowed with ancient wisdom and touched by the hand of God.

In fact, Spring or Summer - either is the correct answer. In fact, if the universe were just and merciful, and man was not being punished for his sins, the year would begin on April 1 and end on August 31. Fall - sorry, there I definitely do NOT agree with you - and Winter being the penalty Adam must endure because he ate of the Fruit of the Tree.

Long days, beautiful flowers, pretty girls on the beach, the splendid fireworks display that come with a thunderstorm, the sounds of crickets filling the night, backyard Bar-b-q's, the smell of freshly cut grass, Easter Sunday - my favorite holiday, visits by the ice cream man, the rush you get from plunging into the pool on a sweltering day, beautiful long sunsets, the sight of dew glistening on the lawn in the morning light, walks in the park... the list goes on.

Keep your dreary dark - and short - days. Keep your bone chilling cold. Keep the icy roads as you risk life and limb getting to work.

Oh, and Fall? Those pretty colored leaves? They're dead. That's they look that way. The days get shorter as all hope is lost.

So put me down for Spring or Summer. Oh, and as you can tell, I don't have especially strong views on this one.

[Amy10223]

I like your explanation. But I still love the fall. Why? The crisp cool air after a long and hot, humid summer. Folks in the tropics and in Florida can attest to this, even in November. Apple picking, Halloween, beautiful foliage throughout (even if the leaves have died), looking forward to the holidays, all make me love the fall. My birthday also falls in the fall.
Summer- is great as long as it is not so humid, to me personally. Don't forget blackouts due to electrical consumption, mosquitos and other annoying bugs, cicadas, sand in your food at the beach, sharks. sweating, inability to breathe due to the poor air quality, and so on. That's what I don't like about summer.

[Amy10223]

And--thank you for your compliments. :)

[nightdrot]

On the compliments, they are full earned.

As to Fall, let's call it what it is: The harbinger of doom. All those things you mentioned are legitimate, but are small consolation for the evil that is to come. (Besides, I much prefer the cheery colors of Easter Sunday - and the holiday, which in my family was a big one - to Halloween's dreary black and orange.

As to summer, all the things you mentioned are but mere inconveniences. They hardly detract from the glory that is long sunny days, a lingering twilight, sometimes with the exclamation point of a thunderstorm.

However, to each his own. I don't think either of us is going to get all of what we want. (Though I remain open to a GoFund Me page that will pay for my lifestyle in Hawaii!)

Cheers!

Thanks for your reply.
I don’t like to look at winter as an evil season, nor as punishment. There are Greek myths that believe in that as well. Winter can be beautiful, with nature covered in snow and forests looking like crystallized wonderlands. They are lovely to me, and I do like that feeling of coziness and being warm in the house with a cup of hot chocolate in your hand by a warm fireplace.
I guess what’s inconvenient to you is what others, including myself, intolerable for long. The lingering days of summer are nice, but the heat waves I experienced in the northeast are long and frequent, now happening in other parts of the world. I could not bear to live in Florida or Louisiana where high humidity is common.
But that’s me, and includes many others, just like others like yourself don’t mind the high heat and humidity. You’re right, we aren’t all the same. Hope you make it to Hawaii.

Fall... there is something electrically romantic about it. But you have to live in an area where there is a distinct season... trees change colors and leaves fall off. Luckily I do.

[Apple1996]

I LOVE winter! The snow and cold are soo nice and very pretty. ☃️ Fall is a close second because it's also a bit cold and the trees are nice 🌳

[Simslover92]

Fall. I love the weather in the Fall and there's Halloween in the Fall.

[DaveJord]

Tossup between Spring and Fall... why? The weather, where I live in California it's like 110 in the summers, and its snow and ice in the winter. I love the fall and spring, because it's the best time of year to be outside doing stuff, while all the kids are in school and there is less tourist on the road.

[Amy10223]

My favorites as well! I thought California is a weather haven though. So nice up north and in San Diego.

[DaveJord]

Along the coast yes... in Serria Nevada we actually have seasons.

[abc3643]

Herbs de Provençe, of course.
It's just such a versatile season!

[AviatorTom]

I like Spring. The cold of Winter is leaving us, plants are starting to grow again, showing their colours, and a warm Summer is just around the corner.

[Amy10223]

Yes... agree.

[desidoll]

When I moved to the States in Feb, I thought I might like summer, now I think fall is my fav season. Definitely not winter. I hate the cold.

[normalice]

Early spring because it is still cold enough for the bugs to be in hiding but also there is no snow and no grass to cut.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I like tourist season because it give you the opportunity to meet some really cool people & tourists dollars make a difference.

[petera1987]

Autumn, because summer is too hot, winter too cold, and spring brings out the annoying insects, birds that attack when you go too close to their nests, and the sneezing.

[dolemite58]

fall is my favorite too, i love the warm days still and cool nights. the leaves changing colors and Halloween is just awesome.

[TiffanyLee]

Fall; it's not too hot, not too cold, not too rainy, and the changing colors are pretty.

[Blueeyes81]

Autumn. I love the colors and the briskness in the air. Give me a drizzly Autumn day and I'm a happy man.

[DaBiggestBird]

Putting aside the traditional ear problems, my favorite is winter.

[Likes2drive]

Right around the mid point between spring and summer

[krin_m]

Fall and spring in that order.

[andreasderjuengere]

Mating season :)

All year round...

[exitseven]

Summer. The rest of the year is a waste.

[Twalli]

Spring. Getting warmer, days getting longer.

[noohair]

I live in Florida, Winter.

[BLP11520]

Fall , it’s cooler but not cold
