For me, it’s spring, spring, spring. The hills are still green from all the winter rains, and there are flowers everywhere. The sun shines and the air is cool and fresh. I heart California in the spring!

Fall is definitely my favorite time of year in Italy; I've been fortunate enough to visit during all four seasons and fall ... the smells, the air, all of it ... is amazing. BeanMa’s last blog post..Beauty Have to agree that it's *so* lovely indeed....

Here in Northern California, each season has much to love (and hate).

Spring flowers are beautiful, but the pollen is murder on the allergies.
Summer brings the abundance of fruits but the weather is so dry.
Fall of course is the peak of tomato season but the days start to get shorter.
Winter rains green everything back up but the heating bill…ouch!

Excellent observations, Nate…and I love your mention of tomatoes

Hi Michelle, I live in Pickering, Ontario. My favourite season is fall. We still get the hot weather, I can make it to the lake for the sunrises and the leaves changing colours are magnificent up here in the north! Lucy’s last blog post.. I definitely miss the really vibrant changing leaves....

Oh, definitely summer. I *love* the heat. The color pots are in full bloom, cut flowers from the garden come into the house, the fruit trees and squash produce fruit and the days are long. There is less work and more time to spend outside. In the morning, for what seems like just a fleeting moment before I close all the windows in the house, it is calm, quiet and cool outside. In the evening, I love to go for a walk just before dusk when the day’s heat is starting to subside, but here and there, you walk into a cool breeze until finally the cool breezes overtake the day’s heat and the evening temperature reaches that perfect blend before night falls and it’s time to open all the windows in the house. Oh, definitely, the summer!

I wish I could pass just a *wee* bit of our summer your way

I love summer in the Regensburg area because all the biergartens are open, along with the touristy areas. I love to visit different castles that have been renovated or are still ruins. Two years ago I was in Calabria and visited Santa Severina and Le Castella. They were absolutely beautiful. The only thing I don’t like about the summer is the heat.

I’m with you, Rosa…if it were about 10 degrees (Fahrenheit) cooler all summer long I’d *love* it here

I love all of the in between seasons because I cannot think if there are extremities either way, oddly emotionally I am always extremes! Hot or Cold!

I live in Seattle. I love the summer here. The summer doesn’t last very long here but the few months we get are awesome. The running joke around here is summer doesn’t start until July 5th. It’s usually true.

How fun it is to know you a little through the season. I don't like to go places where summer can get too hot either. elra’s last blog post..Savarin With Berries and Crème Chantilly
