What's your favourite season?

[ailsagirl]

For me, it's definitely autumn. Least favourite? Summer!!!

[cmd]

1. Most favorite - winter

Least favorite - fall

[ailsagirl]

5. Really? How come? (just curious)

[cmd]

22. Good question.

Winter because it is such a peaceful indoor time of the year. The ice and snow turn everything into a fairy tale world. I love to be baking, reading and taking care of the birds during this time of the year.

Fall because is seems to be the end of all things. I hate watching the plants die. Perhaps it may also be because fall was the end of my freedom for so many years. Out of my 62 years, I spent 48 of them in school. The fall was the time I had to work the hardest with the least amount of reward.

[ailsagirl]

31. Yes, that's true

It is a melancholy time of year in some respects.

I love the winter too but we don't get snow where I live--
just rain. I absolutely love the rain!! I wouldn't want it
every day, of course, but it's always been magical to me.

I love to putter around indoors when it's cold outside--
doing the things you describe. For me, that's true happiness.

(And I love the birds, too)
:)

2. Fall, absolutely.

Winter probably least.

[Mutley]

3. I'm with the OP

favorite fall
least favorite summer (man I can't stand the heat!)

[ailsagirl]

6. The heat drives me nuts. How did we ever manage without A/C ???

[Mutley]

8. melted into a puddle on the floor!

which I think I'm in the process of doing anyway, even WITH the a/c.

[ailsagirl]

18. Sorry to hear that-- is something wrong with your A/C ??

When I was a kid, I LOVED summer because (of course) no school
and I could spend all day at the pool. And sleep in the backyard
at night.

I just despise it now.

[Mutley]

19. Nah.

I don't have central air, only those window unit things. And they pretty much don't work well. The coolest I can hope for in here on a day like today is 85 degrees F. But we're moving in August, so we'll get central air then :woohoo:

[ailsagirl]

23. Well hang on until then!! I guess that's the WORST month.

It's my ULTIMATE unfavourite month because that's when the
temps really soar.

And when I hear people say they like 100 degrees and hotter,
I have to restrain myself from slapping them. (Not really,
but it does tick me off to hear it!!)
:eyes:

[Mutley]

25. I don't get how anyone can like 100+ degree weather.

Humans are NOT cut out for that kind of craziness!

[ailsagirl]

29. I know... but there's a guy at work who just LOVES the heat

grrrrr :grr:

[Mutley]

33. Yes.

I love smelling like sweat and having to peel my skin off of my car seat. Good times. :eyes:

[ailsagirl]

36. LOL!!!

I want to tell him to move to Needles!!!
Take scalding showers!!
Turn his furnace up to 90!!

Sheesh!! It's just bizarre!!

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

10. My moto for the last several weeks:

"No pleasure, no rapture greater than that of central air." Azreal from "Dogma"

I equally like the spring and fall and despise the summer, for the heat and the sh*tty action movies released in theaters.

[Mutley]

11. Yeah. I hate the shitty action movies.

Occasionally a decent one comes out, but most of the time I'm wasting my money.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

41. I've just pretty much given up on them

In past years, during the summer, I would go see a movie in a theater atleast once a week. This summer I've seen four movies (RoTS, Batman, WoTW and Charlie) in a theater. I was slightly intrigued by The Island, before the reviews, and still might see The Fantastic Four just because I've seen every comic book movie.

[Mutley]

51. I saw Star Wars. Thats it.

And that's only because I am a lifelong star wars fan. Everything else can wait until it comes out on video.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

58. The other three I saw were good

the best part of WoTW was the visuals and the sound so seeing that in a theater is neat, if you are going to see it at all. Unless of course you have a giant screen tv in your house with a rocking sound system, then you can wait.

[Mutley]

62. You know, I was thinking that.

Some movies are good for their visual effect alone. Plus, the SO wants to see it. So we may go, during a matinee.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

63. The neat images are definitely worth the six dollar matinee

Lots of people liked WoTW, especially around DU, so give it a shot.

[barb162]

4. fall or spring.

[ailsagirl]

Yes... I love the fall colours and the spring flowers

But, unfortunately, both seasons are too short!!

[Greyhound]

7. Here it's Winter. Jan - March is always just spectacularly perfect. n/t

9. Football.

Baseball is 2nd.

12. Summer......which in So Cal starts just.......

....about now and runs into October...

13. Either spring or summer

Why? Because I'm rather skinny and I have no natural insulation from the cold (LOL !!). I also enjoy gardening.

[ailsagirl]

21. Mmmmm... gardening is such a great activity (unless it's HOT)

All the flowers I like just wilt in the summer, no matter
how much water they get. :(

[masshole]

14. Wabbit season

th th th th th th thats all folks!

[Liberalynn]

15. We agree.

I love the crispness of the air, the color of the leaves, getting to wear sweaters, hot chocolate and tea, the harvest especially the grapes and the apples.

Spring is eh okay.

I absolutely despise both winter and summer but summer the most. I hate the humidity and the bugs. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK. At least in winter you can blast the furnace and bundle up to get warm.

But in summer there is a limit to what females can take off and not all places are air conditioned. We only have an air conditioner in one room and fans. None of which work as well as the furnace in winter.

[nytemare]

16. I miss autumn.

In Florida, it is either green or brown. I miss the nip in the air that used to come in the end of September in Maryland. I miss the leaves changing and the fresh smell! Here, it smells like the humid cess pool of red state.

[GOPisEvil]

17. Spring!! Spring in central Texas is gorgeous!

:bounce:

[BrklynLiberal]

20. Spring. Vernal Equinox, Green. temperature in the 60's..flowers

[ailsagirl]

26. Oh... gorgeous!!!

[LaurenG]

27. Me too. with fall a close second. nt

[sundog]

24. autumn

[bridgit]

28. autumn...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. Spring is my runaway most favorite season!

Why? Longer days, the tender greens on the newly budding trees and lawns, new flowers, the mockingbird singing at night, our jacaranda tree in bloom....

[Skittles]

34. winter - the colder and more inclement the weather, the better

I like winter

[Rising Phoenix]

35. def. fall

I love everything about it, the weather, the colors, the smells, the fashion.

[fudge stripe cookays]

37. SPRING SPRING SPRING!

Our winters are mild, and our summers are unbearable.

Spring is a wonderful few weeks when I can garden to my heart's content without suffering too much. And I can see everything bloom-- daffodils, tulips, Bradford pear trees, and so many other gorgeous flowers.

[auntAgonist]

38. definately Autumn.

definately.

[cmf]

39. Summer!!

9/10 people who live in the pacific northwest will answer the same. :)

[GOPisEvil]

42. I was there last week, and I agree.

It reminded me of spring here in TX.

[RetroLounge]

40. This one

RL

[khashka]

43. Autumn

The cold crispness of the air, the smell of burning leaves.

There's a sort of sweet sadness to it...

Khash.

[mvd]

44. Fall

It is the most temperate season, as far as I'm concerned. Many times, we either have cool springs or springs that quickly go into summer. Plus, fall is the lead up to my favorite part of the year - the holidays (specifically for me, Christmas.) Also, the Old Farmers' Almanac is right that you appreciate whatever nature offers more when the trees are barren.

[liberalitch]

45. fall, winter, spring, summer.... in that order.

[MrScorpio]

46. Fall. It's the coolest season

The sky looks more interesting, you get to wear some nice clothes, I love the faint smell of burning leaves in the air, the wind has a special sound, my birthday, more holidays, no more summer heat.

Fall is so cool.

[Blue_Roses]

47. Fall

and then winter. I love the cold weather. I despise the heat.

[njdemocrat106]

48. Autumn

I like autumn for a whole bunch of reasons. I love the changing leaf colors, the temperate weather that leans toward the cool side, and like another poster said, the lead up to the holiday season (my birthday's in November, too, so that helps ;) ). I also love the extra hour we get when Daylight Saving Time ends. I like Winter, and I like snow, except I hate the shoveling part. Summer's too hot, too muggy and buggy. I don't like Spring because of the start of Daylight Saving Time (which I think we should just get rid of). My whole internal clock gets screwed up for about a week because of the time loss.

Edit: I'm proud to see a lot of DUers who also like autumn.:applause:

[Montauk6]

49. Autumn, most definitely

The most photogenic, the best weather (jacket weather, pleasantly chilly evenings).

[Spider Jerusalem]

52. Autumn, definitely...October is my favourite month.

When the leaves are turning and there's a crispness in the air...not quite a chill, but not warm, either.

[RPM]

53. Season Six

far and away the best

[In_The_Wind]

54. Spring ~ glorious Spring!

Spring is a time to shed the troubles of Winter like I shed the heavy, restrictive clothing that's hampered my freedom since late Fall. The trees bud and flower, the migrating birds return to play in the bird bath and drink the fresh nectar that's always waiting for them. Lilac bushes become covered with fragrant blooms.




AND Summer's on it's way

[TheCentepedeShoes]

55. Fall by far

I think it's the old "back to school" thing. New clothes, a new schedule and the belief that "this year everyting will be different" although of course it never was. LOL First chill in the air, football, looking forward to the holidays, the first snow. Least favorite - late winter - had enough of the cold already, a feeling like cabin fever.

[RebelOne]

56. Hate summer. Love winter.

[peekaloo]

57. Summer.

Me likes the heat and humidity.

59. Florida

60. I'm with you, ailsagirl

My feelings exactly!

[Wetzelbill]

61. college football and basketball seasons

[Dastard Stepchild]

64. Winter

I love snow. And no one is outside. I can take long, uninterrupted walks with my pooch. We have a blast playing in the snow.
