I love every season except summer. To me,summer in Alabama is miserable. If i had to pick a favorite it would be fall,because of the weather. Winter would be second,as I love the Christmas season. Then spring,because i love to see my garden wake up and bloom and i love spring colors.Summer sucks.

Spring. I love when my Japanese maple starts to grow it's leaves & my annuals start growing.

I love summer. It is in the 70's here and a few 80's. The climate is dry and the air is clean& fresh. big blue skies and crystal clear lakes. Just perfect. I like spring as winters are long and hard and spring seems miraculous. Fall is a mixed thing. I see the leaves dying and the temperature dropping and I know what comes next.

I like 'em all!! My work is very outdoor focused so I find appeal in most seasons - spring because the garden world comes to life again and my business starts ramping up. Summer in my area is a delight - mild, sunny and dry and I spend most of my time outdoors, from early morning until often well after dark. Summer nights are magical! In fall I appreciate the change in light and the changes in the plants, that trace of a nip in the air and the bounty of the harvest season. Winter is my time to enjoy my cozy little house and take some needed break time from work. I read a lot, binge on Netflix and cook. And try to get my life reorganized from the chaos of the past nine months before it starts all over again!

Autumn is my favorite. Too hot in Alabama most of the time, especially August, but I do enjoy the mild summer nights. Spring and early summer are next favorites when things begin to bloom and weather is mild.

Summer. I hate cold weather. Heat doesn't bother me. Also it is when my husband makes 90% of his annual income, so we can have extra money to work on the place.

Spring, new beginnings.

I love having four seasons and as much as I dislike summer when it gets too hot, because of summer, fall is so refreshing. I think I would dislike living in an area where the temperature is the same all year long and perhaps the seasons are differentiated by being wet or dry.

Ever since I moved to Northern Alabama, I've been spoiled by what I consider a great four season climate. It does get hot in the summer, but excessively so only for very short periods of time. The same can be said for the northeast, where I was born and raised.

Like so many people who live in a climate with clearly discernible seasons, I love the spring and the fall almost equally.

We have a full range of deciduous trees here, many of which paint our mountains and valleys with red, orange, yellow, pink, and burgundy. Then, in the spring, it's so wonderful to experience the flowering and greening of those same trees.

One of the trees in our backyard is Halesia diptera (two winged silverbell). It is a solid mass of bell shaped white flowers in the spring, and is the favorite nectar food for every type of bee and butterfly in the neighborhood. You can hear the hum of the bees from several feet away, it's awesome. :-)

Fall use to be my favorite when I lived in New England. Since movinng to California, we don't have much of a change between seasons.

Weather wise my favorite season is fall, here usually all of Oct and sometimes most of Nov. I love the clear, dry days and moderate temps. Rhizo is almost my neighbor, and my weather is much like hers, it just averages a little colder.

BUT... I'm a passionate plant person, especially woody plants. I'd love to live in an even-tempered climate that would allow me to grow as many different kinds of plants as possible. Probably an island in the tropics at elevation, or the western slopes of the Andes, or New Zealand or ... I'd gladly give up personal comfort for my passion LOL.

When I saw the title, my thoughts went to Seattle's downtown hotel and I was going to say the rooms are out of my price range. And they are, beginning at around $450 for any water view and climbing steeply from there ;0)

I am not a Fall person. I start to feel a little panicky and anxious in Fall with the shorter days, too aware of all I haven't accomplished. We can have Fall fog here close to the beach and I find fog oppressive, almost heavy. My fav seasons are Spring and Summer. I would usually like this time of year when things are beginning to wake up and show promise of Spring, but this morning we have 5" of snow and like yesterday, I am cleaning off hummingbird feeders every half hour so the birds can feed. My little visiting red Rufous is certainly pretty against white snow ;0)

I like three seasons of the year and DESPISE summer. I cannot take the increasingly very hot weather and droughts.

It's already spring here. I enjoy it although this is the worst season for allergies and I usually get sick. My redbud is blooming and the crepe myrtles have tiny little leaves. The grass has already been mowed three times.

We live in coastal CA so a good Mediterranean climate. Dislike hot weather, humidity, and snow/ice.

My favorite season is the one with the least allergies. Almost impossible to predict these days.

I never quite understood the love or beauty of the four seasons until we moved to a state that has them. For the first 8 years of living here fall amazed me. Now the only season I'm really not as fond of is Summer, only because the heat and I do not get along, add humidity and I'm a goner. But there are things about Spring, Fall and Winter that are uniquely different from each other yet equally as beautiful and I love them all! I don't think I could ever move back to a state that doesn't have four seasons.

I like all four seasons, but my least favorite is fall! I see a lot of you like it. My reason for disliking it is because to me things are starting to die and go the other way till spring. I enjoy spring and summer the most and I do like my cold snowy winters too.

Fall, when the snakes stop crawling!

We have all four seasons here, sometimes in the span of a week!! My favorite though is summer. I despise being cold and, as someone who is cold natured, I always seem to be chilly unless the sun is bright and shining. Give me 90+ degree weather any day!

My husband never understood why I disliked cold so much until he recently lost 60 pounds. He is now cold all the time too and he gets it! I told him that's what happens when you lose your insulation.

I like the smells and colors of fall but if I could live anywhere, it would probably be in a desert where it is hot and dry.

I love Spring, Summer and Fall. Winter is okay but lasts too long. I'd rather be hot than cold.

Fall is my favorite. We have brutally hot summers here and when it finally cools off, I can enjoy being outdoors more. Spring is my second favorite with all the perennials and trees coming back to life. I like winter and summer the least, because that is when I do all my home improvement stuff. :(

I saw your title and thought of the hotel chain! My favorite!

I love summer. If it could be summer always, I would be thrilled. I love gardening and being outside where I always have some gardening experiment going. Don't need the cold nor the overcast, sunless days of winter at all.

I like spring. By then, I had enough of winter and its time for renewal. In my state, I enjoy summer, too. Its not as bad as summers I spent in southern IL (east of
St. Loius). The problem in Wisc is that we do not get very much spring. Some years, we go from late winter to early summer in 2 weeks.

PLEASE CALL ME AUTUMN
Autumn is the season of the senses. Taste, see, hear, feel, smell.
At no other time of the year do we experience the five senses in such a way as we do in Autumn. Even the sound of the word has a softness of its own. Hear the call of the Canada geese v-shaping their way southward. Hear the buzz of the saws cutting firewood; the scrunch of the rake gathering leaves into huge piles, and the laughter of children scampering through them. The clomp of the horse's hooves echo on the hard ground as they pull the hay wagon out to the pumpkin patch.
Look again at the mountains, constantly changing in their kaleidoscopic arcs. The sky appears to be a brighter blue now. Late season perennials bloom in brilliant shades. Darkness comes early, turning lights on in your neighbor's windows. Early frost glistens like snow. Feel the chill in the air. . . bringing a tingle to fingers and noses. Indoors, fires are lighted to chase away the cold.Roast beef, homemade soup, pumpkin pie, hot chocolate, all pamper the taste buds. This is the perfect time for weenie roasts. The sight of the fire, the smell of the wood smoke, the taste of the nearly-burned hot dog, the sound of the logs as they sputter in tune with night insects, and the feel of the crisp night air delight the senses all at once.
There is a feeling of anticipation in Autumn. It is as though we are waiting for something else. Is it Thanksgiving we are waiting for? Christmas? New Year's Eve? Is that what we are waiting for ?
No, not at all. Don't be fooled by this temptress. Autumn is bewitching, but it is nothing more than FALL in disguise, making us forget what comes next. . .

Cold! Snow! Ice! Blizzards! Frozen pipes!

What I am really waiting for, of course, is ...

Sue that is very nice. I felt like I was there.

Fall, no doubt. Right after the first hard freeze so the skeeters skedaddle.

Well it was spring till last year and the flood which happened in spring. It is spring here now, lot of stuff blooming, yellow pollen has blanketed everything. Allergies are active. But we have had some really gorgeous days. It just scares me when the rains start, we have been experiencing some lately but Wednesday is supposed to be beautiful. It's Rodeo time in Houston! Party with your boots on!

I like fall but I know winter is coming and I hate winter! Summer can be a beast here but I like it better than winter any day. As long as I have a good AC!
