2. Fall. This will sound odd, but for me, fall has always seemed like the start of things.

When we were kids, the first thing you were asked was how old you were, and the second was what grade you were in. Fall was the start of a new school year, and there were lots of things happening.

It marked the start of football, and the baseball playoffs and World Series. The holidays were mostly in the fall, starting with Halloween. It wasn’t a day off school, but there was a party, and you got to go trick or treating. It was probably the second biggest day on a kid’s calendar after Christmas. Thanksgiving happens in the fall, and most of the Christmas hoopla actually takes place in the fall.

Yup, I like fall best.

6. And it was (and is still, kinda) the start of the new fall network tv season.

I couldn't wait for the fall preview TV Guide to arrive. For me it was on par with the Sears Wish Book, just chock full of new and amazing things to enjoy. I would pore over the pages and plot what I was going to watch for each day. And, unlike the Wish Book, we could actually access what was in it for free thanks to our antennae.

7. I hadn't thought of that, but you're right.

And the Sears Wish Book arrived in the fall, too.

11. Ty Xavier Breath.I see your point there.

[debm55]

13. Ty rsdsharp. See your point with all the holidays.

3. Spring - there is hope in the air. A renewal of life and longer hours of daylight.

More time to be out of doors and more active.

I know of its benefits based on my bloodwork for the last 4 years - July/August bloodwork is fantastic and January/February bloodwork is a cause for concern.

10. Problatim, ty and I agree with you.

4. Fall and spring

It’s tough to choose. Today’s weather was perfect. The golf course was packed. Good to get a start on my game for summer. I’ll take this weather until May when it can warm up. Fall is beautiful around here, usually low humidity and sunny skies.

9. PennRalphie, it was 74 here in Pittsburgh area. TY and I agree.

14. It's fall for me.

...and I always get melancholy when October goes.

And when October goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smoky roofs
I watch the planes go by

The children running home beneath
A twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them
When I was one of them

And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away to hide
The helpless tears
Oh, how I hate to see October go

And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away to hide
The helpless tears
Oh, how I hate to see October go

I should be over it now, I know
It doesn't matter much how old I grow
I hate to see October go

15. Spring

Fall is my second favorite season here.
I have a spring garden. My daffodils are already in bloom. Tulips are not far behind. The azaleas are setting buds and some flowering trees are blooming, although not yet at my house. The night sounds have started from the pond and I expect to see some frogs in my yard before long.
Definitely spring for me.

[debm55]

24. Ty mnhtnbb. Your post paints a delightful Spring picture.

[OldBaldy1701E]

16. Spring.

Of course where I am from, spring can mean temps in the 80s and the humidity starts to really climb. But, I love being able to move more freely and I also love being outside. SO, spring for me.

[debm55]

22. TY OldBald1701E. Spring is the best. There are pros and cons to the other seasons but spring is the best.

[malthaussen]

17. Fall for sure.

Spring is a sign things are gonna get hot soon. Fall is a sign they'll cool off. No contest, IMO.

21. Ty, Mal. Sometimes the summers are high seventies. I hate the dog days of August when it gets very hot.

[TexasBushwhacker]

18. Fall, and BTW, it's getting up to 88 in Houston today n/t

[debm55]

20. Wow. That's a little hot for me. I like it in the 70: Ty TexasBushhacker. Early fall is nice. too.

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. That's why I'm planning on moving to Albuquerque

Hurricane season is supposed to be bad this year too. Between the weather and the politics, I'm done.
