Your Favorite Season of the Year

Darby liked autumn.

You crack me up!

I will take Iraq hot.

I liked spring and summer when I was younger.
Now I like fall and winter.

Late spring and throughout summer.

I live in the Deep South, from Alabama to Louisiana, well mainly in those two places, although at times I am in the delta, Greenwood Mississippi.

During April, there is a softening of the seasons, the blooms with their sweet smell, the Magnolias bloom, the Dogwoods; with May, the fertile wild-flowers of spring and early summer. These times are hot and humid in the Deep South, the time when dressing up in finery must be augmented by air conditioning, yet in casual clothes, a nice simple cotton dress, all day in that hot humid air gives me ease and general comfort. You would be correct a musing, I like it hot!

...Winter, oh how I hate winter! The cold all over my homelands, colder in Louisiana, I do believe? Southeastern Alabama is sheltered by the north-eastern flow of the jet-stream, and all that arctic cold funnels by, leaving the warm gulf air to bounce off it, turn the air cold, then come south-east, where it may freeze Birmingham, and even Montgomery, but it usually loses its thrust before fitting where i live, and when it does hit too hard there is always a ride to Florida to escape the bite of cold.

I was about to say that where I live we mostly hear about this winter and except for the odd day or two ours is more a cooler fall like weather than actual winter. And if I had a dollar for ever week before Christmas when I was walking around in shorts and t-shirts I'd have a nice retirement saved off of it.

That said, you can have the month of August, which is to my mind the single reason for the Bible belt belonging to the South. We don't so much imagine hell as experience a bit of it in that month...when everything with a brain runs for shade and what doesn't melts.

sleep season ?

I already voted and answered Spring. I stand by that, but I have always loved all 4 seasons and the in betweens. We're blessed to live in a four season area. Of course there are downsides to every season but the good outweighs the bad mostly. Spring just has way more good than bad in these parts.

I started thinking about how I love Fall and especially Winter. I love the cold as long as I'm warm and I love bundling up, coats and warm gloves etc. Again, as long as I'm warm I don't care how cold it is outside, and I love snow lately because I don't get out in that. Nothing better than being prepared and stocked up and getting snowed in; instant quality time with Family.

I'm already looking forward to deep winter as I truly enjoy the Fall and the leaf colors. God is Amazing !!!

I agree with all of these points, but I have switched to a summer guy. When I get that first whiff of crisp fall air, I immediately lose a large percentage of my cheerfulness.

Not that autumn isn't beautiful, it's just that heartbreaking kind of beauty that ravages everything it touches and leaves it dead and miserable until almost May.

That explains your avatar :chuckle:

The part I like about the fall is that the air conditioner nor heater is on. And they will not be for a while.

Fall, hands down. Color of the foliage; smell of fires; sweaters and hoodies; football; chili; crisp air and the steam off a coffee mug; richness of the sky and the earth.

Also a reprieve right before there's hell to pay.:noid:

It really was a hard choice because each have their own delights. Raking leaves is my least favorite fall thing. However I picked fall almost whimsically.


Once I get used to a season they all can be pretty good.

I hate the transitions.

Having to get the snow thrower going. Dressing in heavier clothes. My body hating how cold it is. Having to prepare and run the wood stove.
Then after a period with the routine down I am good and love the colder weather and watching the snow fall.

Then it starts getting warmer and everything is a muddy mess. Spring Showers don't help. Then I need to start getting the lawn mower and weed whacker going.
Then after a period with the routine down I am good and love seeing the leaves fill in and the flowers blooming.

Then it starts to get hot and muggy. Can't get cool. Bugs bugging me.
I adjust after awhile and like I don't have to cut the grass so much. I like walking around in flip flops and wearing shorts.

Then it's starts getting chilly. I need to put more layers on and no more flip flops and shorts. Now I have to start thinking about raking leaves. I adjust after awhile and love the fall colors and the temps seem just about right.

THEN....

Transitions. Ugh.

Winter can go away and not come back. If only we could change the climate, I would do it.

Darby loved "Strawberry snow cones," as well.
