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?

I have no particular favorite

- DBoon, Los Angeles

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.

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

Only they pass so quickly now at my age.

Gotta love Fall. Did I mention I hate Summer.

gets to me. Enjoy the Fall.

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

-- Ron

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!)

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.

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.

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

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

🦷

I like warm weather and the pool is open

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.

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.

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

That will start in another month or so. Bah.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Love the cooler weather and the leaves changing color.

don't have to go to school!

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

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

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.

right now.

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

Light sweater, cool weather, leaves start changing colors.

Basically October - April. Come on October!

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!
