Seasons

Day 17 of a month of me explores the seasons I love so much! I was raised in Las Vegas where you have one maybe two seasons, HOT and not so hot! So, living here in the Ozarks exposed me to all four seasons and I love them all, the good, bad and ugly humidity even!! But when asked which is my favorite season, I'd have to say spring. After a long, cold winter it's nice to get outside and play in the dirt again, plant a garden and flowers anywhere I can cram more in. Yes, that is a real critter in the photo above, it was taken at our old house, he let me get that close too!

Fall is my second favorite season, after a long, hot summer it's nice to curl up with a quilt and sip hot tea at night, take in the fall colors and just wind down a little, get prepared for winter. I love to decorate for fall, and Christmas but I love all four seasons just because I have them, summers are short and can get hot but those few months of outside chores, fun and play are nice. Winters are magical, the snow covers everything like a blanket making it look new again. I'm not a fan of the ice storms like we had last winter, but we survived. It was a pretty site!

I'm grateful to live here, to have all four seasons to enjoy. I wouldn't have it any other way! We complain about the weather but each season has a purpose and we should get out and treasure each one for the glory they hold! What is your favorite season?

  1. I was born a 'Winter' baby, but I adore Autumn. Never was a Summer kind of girl. My skin never seems to be dry and it's no fun walking around feeling damp all the time. I envy those who love the warmer weather though. To be out and about in the sunshine, planting gardens and getting a nice tan. Give me cooler winds and even snow, I'm happy. xxoo

  2. Each season has something that I like, but Autumn is my favorite. I love the harvest time of year...the colors, the scents, the coolness, the crisp air, the apples and pumpkins, the country fairs....and on and on...

  3. Spring is my favorite too and fall second and for all the reasons you mentioned. Each one has a rhyme and reason so having known no other way of living without them I'd say I'm very lucky:)
    Have a great evening"_

  4. Hey There Friend Sue,
    I've always had four seasons; but, when I lived in Oklahoma City, there wasn't much winter and a whole lot of summer heat!

    I've never been good at making things grow, except children and now chickens!

    Thanks for visiting my little blog home!

  5. My favorite season is Fall I don't really get seasons here in southern California but maybe someday I'll move somewhere with real seasons LOL. I am really starting to like Spring too after all the beautiful gardening and Spring pictures people blog about!

    All the best,
    Allison

  6. I was born in the Fall, and it's definitely my favorite with Spring being next. I do not enjoy the extreme temps that sometimes accompany Winter and Summer, but I have lived in New England my whole life and it is what it is. I know I wouldn't like NOT having all 4 seasons one bit!
