It doesn't matter to me. I still get up before the sun comes up and go to bed when it gets dark enough.

I bet it does (at first) to sweet baby Annie, though.  ;-)

@ciao_bellait's that "balance" I want.  I don't like extremes either.  Too hot and I'm cranky, too cold and I'm cranky.  No pleasing me when it comes to weather.

I love Spring.  But Spring always feels like Fall and then heads right into Summer.  I hardly ever know we've had it.

@gertrudecloset : 

Fall is actually warmer than spring since it follows the summer.

And less humid, thankfully.

I love the whole renewal motto of spring.  8)

@feline groovyYou could be right.  Where I live it is still warm until late September (or Spring like).  It never feels like Spring in the Fall (to me).  By the time October rolls around it's jacket time (I can live with that) but by mid October it's time for coats.

@gertrudecloset - Definitely a "fall back" person. It could be fall and winter year round and I'd be happy. Of course, our winters are very mild - some nights we get lows in the mid to upper 20s, but not too often, and snow doesn't usually happen.

I'm just Not a fan of intense heat and humidity, nor the mosquitoes and all the other bugs/insects that are out in droves in spring and summer. Summer to me means hibernation - it's too hot and humid to even walk our dog; he hates it.

@Mimi 1883just listening to you has me shivering.....I have a neighbor who loves the winter months.  When she does get a glimpse of me during the coldest of months it's like she hasn't seen me in years.  I don't fool around out there in the cold.  I become a new person when spring arrives though.  LOL.

Don't get me started about no see ums, mosquitoes and bugs I can't identify in the Summer.  No matter what I do, they find a way in my house.  I'm splatting, spraying and doing all manner of things to rid myself of mosquitoes biting me.  It really is a miserable feeling (mosquitoe bites).

---

@gertrudecloset - And the dreaded fruit flies and ants that Always find a way into our homes! Yeah, no love for summer from me. 😄

I can't stand it.  I can't stand it.  Heat + bugs in the Summer makes for a cranky gertrudecloset!!! @Mimi 1883

I look forward to "spring forward".  I enjoy all of the seasons except fall with the oranges and golds which I felt depressing from the time I was small.

Where I live we have 4 equal seasons.

---

@ECBGWe have 2 equal seasons where I live.  Fall goes right on in to Winter without a problem and the same applies to Spring right into Summer.  Of course, my favorite is Spring......which I hardly ever see in my area.  It stays in the 40's 50's then jumps to the 80's smack dab into Summer.

@gertrudecloset 

What state are you in?  I'm in the Appalachian Mountains of NC.

I live in Pennsylvania.

Yep; you're right that it usually depends on geography.

I've always lived in four season states, but it seems that each new year the summer lasts longer and I dont need a jacket until November.  And the warm and hot days - even the humid ones - start in April.  Bummer.

@feline groovyA long time a go I tried looking for a place to live that had a lovely temperant climate year round in the U.S.  San Diego (at that time) was at the top of the list.  Needless to say, I will be sticking with what I've got!  Can't afford anything California.

Summer is our "bad weather" in Phoenix.  (The last two were record-breaking HEAT.)

I love love love daylight savings time!  I love more sun and long days.

I dread with every fiber of my being the spring storms.  

[laluzdelmundo]

@Meowingkitty Yes! You took the words straight out of my mouth.

I should have added Thunderstorms to my dislike of Long Hot Summer Days.  I'm just looking forward to the extra daytime light.  Not what comes with it (heat)!!!

Heat + bugs+ thunderstorms and I'm not fond of Summer (except for daylight).
