What is your favorite season & why?

Spring is my favorite. I just love the freshness of spring. The new buds on the trees, the spring flowers. The baby fawns all around. It's like the earth is renewing itself, and we all get to watch. As Gayle said, the spring flowers in Texas can be spectacular compared to the normal landscapes.

Fall is my second favorite for the same reasons y'all expressed for liking fall. However, fall means the holidays are just around the corner, and that means the stress of shopping for gifts, oh what to buy, what to buy, and all the cooking. The stress of buying and decorating a tree. UH. Just soooo much to do. If we had some time off to do these things, it wouldn't be so bad, but trying to fit in the extra tasks with an already busy schedule can be a bit stressful and overwhelming at times. It means later nights and no time to relax and enjoy the holidays. It's such a relief when January gets here and then spring is right around the corner.

I can pretty much just copy Betsi's reply!! I love spring, finally getting outside after winter's been here. Planting flowers and watching them bloom. I love it when spring turns into summer because it means that the kids are out of school and over more. And I love to swim!!

Fall is so beautiful but so, so busy for us. That's when harvest takes place. We have every weekend, except one, scheduled for hayrack rides in October. It's fun but it's also time consuming and takes up our weekends. It also means that the holidays are closer and, sigh, all the work that goes with them. I'm like Betsi in the fact that it's so very stressful and I don't look forward to it.

I also like winter expecially when it snows. We have big windows in every room of our house so when it snows it's like being outside!! I love it!! I love wrapping up in a blanket and feeling so cozy and warm.

Fall has always been my favorite. I love the crisp morning and evenings that fall brings. And the fall colors are so beautiful...our leaves are already starting to change. I love being outside more too.

Winter....I've never been big on winter but I easily could be if it just wouldn't snow. Don't like pushing shopping carts through slush in the parking lots. Don't really mind the cold as long as it's not too windy.

Spring is always nice, but seems like it's way shorter than it use to be. Just when it starts warming up...it's hotter than...well, you know!

Summer...not a big fan. Always too hot and humid.

So it looks like Fall has won for me.

Betsi, we don't get a huge amount of snow here but what we get I really enjoy.......and yes, you can come and stay here. We have a really steep driveway and when we get enough snow Glen gets the sleds all out and everyone sleds down the hill. I stay in and make hot gingerbread cake with Cool Whip and hot cocoa to drink!!! I think that you'd enjoy it!!!

Pope......I loved your pictures!!! I'd love to go to New England in the fall!!!
