Mostly though I think some part of me is still a five year old, for whom the onset of autumn brings the promise of festivals to come.

Just how I feel.

And to sum it up

A Day in Autumn
It will not always be like this,
The air windless, a few last
Leaves adding their decoration
To the trees’ shoulders, braiding the cuffs
Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening

In the lawn’s mirror. Having looked up
From the day’s chores, pause a minute,
Let the mind take its photograph
Of the bright scene, something to wear
Against the heart in the long cold.

I'd like to see this poll taken again in April. I think a number of people are subconciously biased because the question was asked just as Fall has been relieving them of the nastiness of summer.

Not me.
Spring is so damned muddy. I never got what the poets saw in it.
Also I have always loved decaying grandeur, and that is what Autumn is to me.

I'll try to remember to post another poll next year, see who the turncoats are :)

I love summer because you can do whatever you like outside and you don't need a jumper (sweater). It's the season of minimal clothing actually which is good on so many levels, the least of which is less washing.

Do you think that if you asked again in the dead of winter, like February after a few hundred blizzards, you might get more answers of Spring?

I love Fall, we've had a gorgeous one this year, and it is my first one living on the river which has been beautiful. I like Spring because Winter is over.

I love thunderstorms, so that's good about summer. However, I used to say summer was my favorite season but with having put on some weight and the sneaking suspicions of perimenopause, I can't take the extreme heat anymore! Maybe next summer.

Winter. Snow falling.
