Sorry but fall (and winter) are my favorite seasons......nice cool weather, colorful fall leaves, football, pumpkins, the clothes............

 

I HATE Summer---I hate, the heat, the humidity, the bugs, it doesnt get dark until almost 10PM.  I stay in air conditioned places

You DON'T like the extra daylight?

[stevieb]

Oh yea, and it goes without saying that I vastly prefer fall and winter clothing and accessories to summer stuff... I also prefer fall and winter colors to the insipid pastels of summer, though some summer patterns have a certain appeal...

I’ll chime in, no I don’t like the extra daylight.

I'm a spring person, and l don't understand why more people don't consider spring to be their favorite season. I look forward to it after the long, cold, grey winter. It also brings more daylight, blue skies and blooming colors. I love being able to open my windows and let fresh air into the house, after months of stuffy, dry heating. To me, it represents a re-birth. And the baseball season arrives!

Fall, on the other hand, means leaves and flowers are dying, and the icy cold weather and flu season are coming. And months of long nights and cabin fever are ahead.

Even though fall/winter are my favorite seasons.🍂  🎃 🏈     

Spring is just beautiful here in South and Central Texas...all the beautiful fields of wild flowers are everywhere even in the city and suburbs---just goregeous!!!  But the heat and humidity starts to creep in and I Hate baseball...🌷🌷🌳⚾

And summer time here is when things turn brown from the heat except for the crepe myrtle trees, and few natiive flowering plants (unless we have a rainy summer like we did this year)....And summer means staying in the A/C and that's when we get cabin fever 😎  🌻 🌞

Winter here is like fall up north.....we do get occasional ice storms, but snow is rare and a treat...course it melts in a few hours.....people build snowmen, there's snowball fights, and just love watching it then its gone...we had some last year.....And I love the Christmas season!

@Spurt: Your winters are so much more tolerable. I wouldn't mind living where you do!

This summer was the hottest, most humid I can remember. I usually enjoy the summer, but not this past one.

I love those crepe myrtles. The raspberry-toned variety is my favorite. They bloom here in NY from August through the first frost. Maybe I'll plant one next year.

Someone asked how those who love fall feel about winter... I'm just not a person who likes extremes... I like cool and I like warm, I do not like extended periods of cold or hot and I don't like damp, humid weather... If I had to pick between cool or warm, I'd pick cool... I like winter, so long as we don't get extended bitter cold and I love snow, but I don't like blizzards... I abhor heat and humidity, much less the extended periods we get of it where I reside ... I find that I'm usually ready for a change in season. I love seeing the trees bud and the longer days of spring, just as I love seeing the quality of the light shift and the darker blue skies of fall... All of the seasons have something to offer us, but I just wish some of them were shorter and some of them were longer... Any way you slice it, it doesn't matter what any of us prefers, we get what we get and there's nothing to be done about it unless we choose to move to what we view as a better climate!! Personally, I'm tempted...

I know what you mean about the weather---we have to cross our fingers and hope we get a "fall" and cooler weather and NOT an extended summer....I remember one Thanksgiving we wore summer clothes and others long sleeves or others a light sweater ....

We started out with a summer this year breaking records....then so much rain we thought now we know how it must feel to live in Seattle---and when the sun did peek out the heat came back of course and it felt like a sauna....Now the rain is supposed to be subsiding and a cool front is on its way....at least thats at least what the weather morons say, then the rains are supposed to return in time for next weekend!!! Well I guess upper 70s low 80s its better than 99 and humid

I LOVE the "cold".....at least our cold.....HATE summer with the heat/humidity.............

One Almanac predicts colder than normal temperatures for us, the other warmer than normal---looks like they got their bases covered....

I have a Raspberry flowered Crepe Myrtle right outside my window and its beautiful........There's so many pretty colors --- raspberry, white, lilac, light pink and my cousin has a rare fiery red one.....

We also had an awful hot/humid summer until all the rain came....

Nope the sun is out too long when it doesnt get dark until almost 10PM (--too hot to be outside)--no relief from the heat and the A/C is humming away and I brace myself when I get my electric bill..........  If it got dark a little earlier it would give it a chance to cool down a little to enable us to go sit outside on the patio at least..........

I chose to be in a location where we have four defined seasons, and I love it. Fall is the BEST. It’s crisp, bright, sunny, and breathtakingly beautiful today. Typical. So happy.
