Poll question: What's your favorite season?
I vote for fall, because:

- I never have liked the heat of summer.

- I love how the leaves change.

- I look forward to Christmas.

1. Give me back my brain!!
I was just thinking we haven't done this poll in ages!

I love fall! The long shadows, the turning leaves, the crisp weather and the smell of death - just kidding. The smell of the dried leaves. I'm a fall junkie!

18. You sure you enjoy the summer Maine Mary? Seem to remember
somebody getting a bad sunburn not too long ago! Feeling better?

I like Spring the best. May to be specific. It rains a lot here in the NW, but May is sunny without being unbearably hot.

5. I like spring because
I hate winter and it's so nice to feel the warm weather.
Fishing seaon starts- for me anyway. I ain't doing any ice fishing.
I like seeing everything getting green after a long, cold winter.

7. Summer for so many reasons
- the warm, er hot, bright sun. Winter light is so dull and diffuse.
- minimal clothing, perferably a wet bathing suit. I can barely tolerate the bulkiness of winter coats and sweaters. I feel weighed down.
- iced drinks. Iced tea: the drink of the Gods!
- longer daylight hours to while away. I need lots of sunlight.
- the greeness of everything and the smell of flowers and honeysuckle.
- Lightning Bugs

10. Yep, my favorite time..
but it's only a small part of winter - so I couldn't vote for winter.

9. You cannot beat springtime in Texas!
All the wildflowers are out. It isn't oppressively hot. The breeze blows, the sun shines. It's just gorgeous!

16. FALL-for different reasons In S. California
Edited on Wed Jul-09-03 01:00 PM by Capn Sunshine
FALL is when it's still summer hot, but cooler at night. When the Pacific is at it's warmest, but all the tourists are gone & out of your way. When the surf kicks up a notch due to fall storms in the Gulf of Alaska. When the really smart trout are still lurking large and languid in shrinking streams, and more susceptible to your lures.

What you guys call "Indian Summer" is here in October. Its a glorious time of heat and tranquility. Also, I find it's the best time to travel; all the industries, from airlines to hotels, are still staffed up.

Football, the most magical and demonstrably human of games, which I played for 30 years, begins in earnest. The REAL America's game.

PLUS, my first daughter was born in October. It's a magical time of year. And we get Halloween! I hope the paranoids are gone and Halloween can go back to the spookfest it used to be....

20. I voted for summer
I love the lush greenery, the sound of the crickets & frogs at night, watching the bats wheel around at dusk, the dragonflies, the cranes with their babies, thunder rumbling in the distance...
