Q of the Week : Favorite Season?
Monday, March 1, 2010 at 08:00AM 
How my husband survives winter … I may just be getting sick of snow and winter, but I’m getting really itchy for spring! I’m tired of bundling boys into all kinds of snow gear just to go to the store, drying mittens, and crunch-running in treacherous conditions. I love snow and building things, but it’s been long enough I think. Bring on spring!
Despite those feelings, fall is actually my favorite season. I love it’s crunchiness, cooler temps, crisp veggies, and the end of the heat and long long days of summer. It’s like the end of a job well done, and the getting-ready-for-winter squirrel-i-ness appeals to me. I love canning and cool runs and leaf piles and pumpkin pies and Thanksgiving. I’m a fall girl :).
Speaking of seasons, any of you remember that Color Me Beatiful fad where you were supposed to work your wardrobe and makeup around which ‘season’ you were? I think it came out in the late 80’s (yes I’m dating myself!) and I always wanted to be a Fall girl, but kept getting rather ambiguous answers that labeled me as belonging in the Spring or Winter color palettes. I wanted Answers and Palettes and Colors Just For Me! Oh the must-fit-in-but-be-unique dramas of teenagers :). Anyhow, I just googled it and sure enough they’re still around! To my surprise I took the 2-question test they have, and they call me an Autumn … which made me laugh … apparently I’ve finally arrived?!
So, which season is your favorite?

I have to agree...Fall is the best! For all the reasons you stated, and more. I hate the humidity of Summer, don't like having to bundle up in the Winter (although I DO love snow for Christmas), and Spring...well, it can be unpredictable, but I do enjoy the newness of it all, so it would have to be my second fave. AND, I also remember having my colours 'done'. Remember 'Colour Parties'? I recall watching the whole thing go from a small fad, to becoming mainstream, where you could shop in stores for clothes, make-up, etc., according to your colour. Thanks for the little trip down memory lane!
I'm a summer girl. I hate being cold, I absolutely hate being cold. Did I say that twice?? I really should forsake my hockey loving Canada, and move south. I love having a tan, I love wearing sandals, and I love the sound of cicadas and swimming in the dark. Spring is new, that's true, and who doesn't love pastel sweaters, but it can be cold and unpredictable as well. Fall is amazing, but the nights are cold, and I'm always a little sad because I know it's going to start getting darker earlier, and be colder. I love bonfires, woodstoves in the evenings, and a good "drink" to warm the insides... that's about the only good part of winter...
and yes i recall those "colour" parties... God has a sense of humour... I'm a winter!!
thanks ladies! glad to know I'm not the only one who remembers those color parties :)
