GTKY - What is your favorite season / time of year?

Do you love it for the food, the family, the decorating?

I have to go with Fall. I know FL doesn't really have a season other than HOT, but I love the colors, the smells, the clothes. My favorite time is when I can start putting up fall decor, with the windows open & a pumpkin spice candle burning.

Re: GTKY - What is your favorite season / time of year?

  • I like them all, I love looking forward to the next season for a change of pace.  I have to admit I'm so glad this summer is almost over though, record breaking temps & being pregnant & having to chase after a toddler & having no AC ... I'm done!

  • Fall, definitely. September - November is simply the best. I love the cooler air (without it being really cold), the comfort food, football season, sweaters...it's just such a cozy, nice time of year.

  • I love fall, but for a lame reason. 60 degree weather is perfect. I love it because I can be outside but wear jeans and a warm sweater. I also love the food :-)

    Fall, definitely. I live in upstate NY, so we really get the quintessential fall experience. Amazing foliage, pumpkin farms, apple picking, cider mills, cool nights. I'm excited just thinking about it. 

    I already stocked up on fall scented candles and hand soaps from bath and body works. Yum.

  • I used to love Fall, before moving to Oregon. In Oregon, the beginning of Fall means the beginning of the rainy season, which is 3/4 of the year. When I lived in CT, I loved fall. Now that I live here in Oregon, I love Summer. NOT while pregnant, but in general, I love the warmth, and the fact that it DOES NOT rain at all, so all your plans will always be dry and beautiful. Summer makes me want to eat healthier too!

  • It's a tie between fall and summer.

    I love fall for the crisp "sweater weather," leaves, pumpkins, mums, apple cider, holiday prep. 

    But I also LOVE the beach, watermelon, days at the park, and my shorter work schedule in the summer. It's generally a slower paced, relaxing time for me (not this summer, naturally).

  • I'm gonna say fall too. When I was a young nerd, there was nothing I loved more than going school shopping and getting the perfect binder and color coding folders and notebooks. When I was a teacher nerd, there was nothing better than setting up the classroom and meeting eager students (by winter they are so less eager). And now, it's fall because I love apple picking and want to have our LO here. :)

    Also, apple pie, apple crisp, apple cider. OM NOM NOM.

  • Fall!! In NC the weather is crisp and the state fair is going!!! It is not to hot and Im ready to start fall decorations!!! 
  • Fall! I can't freaking wait for summer to be over. I love the chill in the air, the leaves changing colors, my fall decorations and food of course.

    Yes yes this 

  • Psssh... all you fall lovers. Its nice for sure but give me the heat, the sun, the pool, the margaritas with all the fore-mentioned. I could live through a summer day over and over again.

    Food, decor? Nope! Just relaxing in the summer heat. It makes me happy.

    I would LOVE some fresh apples. Someone on my FB posted a pic of some the other day & I have been wanting one ever since.

    I think I will make a run this weekend to get some smell good stuff!

    Open windows, apple pie smelling house, pumpkin lattes, going to the orchard/pumpkin patch, jeans and hoodie weather.

    How could I forget Pumpkin Spice Lattes?!?

    Although summer also brings Iced Coconut Mochas. 

    Clearly, I need to cut down on my Starbucks consumption.

    This...I live in Upstate NY too and I love the fall time (except the rain) and into winter..I love to decorate for Fall and Winter/Christmas, its the only time of year I decorate...lol....I love burning cinnamon scented candles (even though I burn then year round)

  • Fall for sure if I still lived up north. Since we live in sunny south Florida, my favorite time of the year is winter-early spring which is when we have the cooler weather and crispy clear days (highs in the 60s-70s, lows in the 50s-60s, sometimes even lower depending on the cold front). The ocean looks beautiful during this time as well!
  • imageLoisLane23:

    Oh, plus: FOOTBALL!!

    yeah, DUH. Where was I on that one?
  • While Fall is a close second (for the food, weather & holidays)...

    It's definitely spring for me!  Winters are long in Wisconsin, so when it starts to get green outside, you can see the sun again and step outside in jeans and a sweatshirt, I just become a whole new person!

    ETA: oh and we're baseball fans in our house (more than Football) - so I'll have to add: Opening Day!

    I'm with you on this one, LB. Fall is just so gorgeous and it's not too hot but not too cold. I love the colours and the crisp air. DH and I got married in the fall and I'm so happy LO is going to be born in the fall!

  • I love all seasons! We live in Maine and get plenty of season to say the least! By the time April rolls around I'm pretty sick of Winter but other than that I can't really say I have a favorite. If I HAD to pick though I would say Fall. There's something about burning those pumpkin candles, with a warm sweater and a football game! Yes

  • Fall, hands down.

    Football, tailgating, sweater weather, the smell of leaves, the food...

    I also love going back to school, even as a teacher. The students are actually excited to be there, the halls are clean, and everything smacks of new-ness :).

  • I have a hard time deciding between fall and winter. I love all of the things that come with fall but I'm also a big fan of snow. I need to move farther north. 
  • Fall, hands down.  The cool weather, Pumpkin Spice lattes, pumpkin patches and cider mills, college football, leaves changing colors...can't wait for the season to change.  I'm so over summer.
  • Fall is my favorite time of year by far. Where we live the leaves turn gorgeous burnt colors. The air is crisp and clean! I love the decor too. Each year we decorate our porch with hay, corn stalks, pumpkins and a scarecrow. I just love that it is not too hot or too cold. Just right!

     

     

  • I  couldn't pick just one. I LOVE Fall-- and haven't really gotten to enjoy it the past few years as I've been working full time/taking classes full time. I love football/open windows and the smell.

     I adore winter because of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and the first few snows.. (after that-- beat it!!)

    I love spring because of the weather (open windows) and the blooming trees and life returning into nature.

    And I adore summer for what it is-- the heat, the smell of chlorine, a good beer on the back porch, lightening bugs!

     They all have their down falls though.

  • Fall in New England - wish it were longer!! I love apple picking, making apple pie, drinking warm apple cider (especially when I can add a splash of rum, lol). Fall clothes are the best, I can't wait to wear my jeans and sweaters, post baby, when the weather cools but it's not cold enough for a jacket. I also love the smell of pumpkin spice candles, mmmm! 

    I should also mention my obsession with Halloween!! I can't wait to go pick the perfect pumpkin and choose my design for a jack o'lantern! I get my DH, Mom and sister involved and we have a little carving party. I also have scary movie nights and make themed treats. My DH had never dressed up until he met me and I made him go all out in costume and party in Salem, MA our first Halloween together. My cat even gets in on the action (see my avatar pic). I can't wait for our 1st Halloween as a family, I'm narrowing down our options for family themed costumes :-)

  • Fall here too: crisp, slightly cooler air, blue skies, apple picking, pumpkin everything (especially pumpkin spice lattees from Starbucks) and my birthday, which kicks off the season. Big Smile

    Exactly this, I love upstate NY in the fall.  I also really like decorating for fall/halloween and then getting ready for the holidays.   And all the yummy fall foods and fall smells.  Humm might have to break out some of my apple cider candles early this year!

    Fall for sure.

    All of this!

    Ha-ha my birthday kicks off winter. *cue the cold hearted jokes*
  • Fall bc its breezy without all the rain and fashion. Im not very stylish but I love fall fashion mainly for the boots (not rain boots). Also the added perk of holiday food.

  • LB, why no clicky poll? Didn't you learn this lesson in another post recently? (though obviously fall would kill it)

    Anyway, I'd normally say fall for most of the reasons previously stated (cooler weather, fashion, food, lead up to holidays, back to school excitement, etc.). I'm also a NYer, and NY falls just kick ass. The anniversary of my sister's death, however, is October 8th so that has put a damper on fall for the last few years for my fam. It'll be nice to have a new baby to focus on and celebrate this year (and all to come)!

    I also love spring, especially since moving to Canada. The winter, even the mild Toronto winter, is far too long so spring (or beginning summer since spring sometimes doesn't really exist here) is awesome. The first day you can have a beer on a patio is a good day!

  • for me its Halloween, so fall I guess. Halloween is the time of year I live for, I love the decorations and costumes. Its just lots of fun

  • Both Summer and Fall.

    Summer because I LOVE the beach.

    Fall because I love the change from the hot temps to the cool weather, light sweaters, and Thanksgiving with my crazy family.

  • Hands down, Christmas. I love fall, but Christmas is my favorite. I'm excited that since DH has mounted our TV over the fireplace, I'll have another corner of the house to put another tree in. Heehee..

  • Summer, fall and winter. It's pretty rainy here in Oregon during the fall.. and the summers get hot but not TOO hot. I love Christmas and holiday season and the lights and peppermint mochas and cuddling up by the fire.

    I also love fall for all the PPs reasons.. especially pumpkin time! and football!

    I'm also so ready for summer by the time it gets here because it's always so rainy. This summer was hot as shiit.. last summer we only had like 10 days that hit anywhere near 80-90.

    Not a big fan of spring... Allergies suck

  • My favorite is spring.  Then summer, then fall.

    My least favorite is winter (but I can handle it from Thanksgiving until New Year's)... that stretch from Mid-January until mid-March is brutal IMO.

    I love all seasons really for a little and am glad I live in a changing climate, but could do without as long of a winter as we have.  :)

  • Mmmm, reading these replies has left me feeling so eager for the fall season! I have always loved that time of year. DH and I got married at the end of October last year, and it was absolutely stunning. I love the colors, the cool breeze, wearing hoodies, football games, and the smells (cannot wait to stock up on my candles). All of this makes me so excited! Then, we get to experience the fun holidays. I am not a fan of winter, but I love the anticipation of Christmas. :) Can summer end now, please?
