Technically, it is fall, but if feels more like a winter without rain. Here, in California, it isn’t all the same (as my husband would have had you believe). There are subtle differences in the seasons and, unless you love the snow, it is great.
Although I love seeing the leaves turn to the varying colors; I much prefer spring and summer. One of the biggest reasons for disliking the fall season is that I dislike waking up in darkness. I also dislike the feeling of running out of time that comes with the early darkness at the end of the day. My mood changes to hope as the days begin getting longer. I know that spring will come soon and I even take joy in running in the rain (occasionally).
Spring is probably my favorite of the four seasons. Summer is next in line. This is because I like to be warm, and I like to wake up to the sun coming through the window. I like to sit outside and listen to the birds singing.
Spring has always meant new life – when the spring flowers are blooming and the young animals are coming to life. Since Tom’s death occurred on the first day of spring, “new life” now has a different meaning. Still, I think that I will like the coming of spring. It will be a point to appreciate my life and the new growth that has occurred in the year left behind.
I do like fall, because I like the crispness in the air. It wakes me up, whether I like it or not! :) I don’t like the “wilted” feeling I get during a summer run in the heat. I love the change in colors, and the crunching of the leaves. I like the sun’s last rays before winter comes and the sun is in hiding. :)
Spring. It’s my birthday and I love the promise of summer around the corner.
I’m a lover of spring, also. It means more light and longer days. I am sick to death of dark mornings – can’t wait to change the clocks!
I really like all the seasons – even winter. I love the feeling of challenging the elements, the silent glide through the dark morning, staying in the house on a cold gray day, reading or cooking. I love the crispness and beauty of fall, the clear light and new buds of spring, and the long days of summer. They all work for me!
Well it’s clearly got to be fall, because we are building our mileage for a late fall marathon, what could be better?
I think fall is great, I love the cooler weather and the changing leaves, but spring is also excellent because the weather is no longer FREEZING and the world is coming to life again!
I very much share your views on the seasons. I am definitely much more of a Spring person. I have already begun to count how long I have until it will start being light longer in the days again :P
I have thought a bit about losing Kruex during that time of the year, too, but I agree that it will still be a favorite time for me…just a hard few days, I’m sure.
yes, fall is absolutely my favorite season. i love it! the chill, the crisp, the turning inward…
