I like Summer the most. All that sunlight and hot weather make me feel o so good. I don't like Winter, those short days and all that coldness. Fall and spring are ok.

What time of year do you enjoy most/least?

It's not a specific time, but an occasion.

The first snowfall of the year. I'm useless to the world on that day. I stand at the window, and look out, and think how wonderful it is, and how lucky I am to be in a place like this.

HATE summer, love fall, and winter. I love the turning of the leaves, and crisp fall days. Winter is great, because it's cold, and there's snow.

I prefer late Fall and Early Winter. I like looking at the leaves and the chages that the environment goes through. It gives me the feeling of inevitablity, almost like the plants know that Mr. cold hard Winter is coming and they give in, knowing that there is no other way to get through it than "hiding" until spring.

I also like nighttime better than day; winter lets me enjoy it more. I also prefer it cold rather than hot. I like to wear long coats and thick boots.

Also, being part Mexican, I tan way to easily and in the summer I am subject to the ever dreaded "farmers tan." This makes me look the fool in my tank top at the gym.

Okay, I, uh, don't live anywhere near any of you guys. I like fall. Summer is kind of nice, usually too windy or cloudy, though. But in the fall, it's nice and warm - and for a week or two, downright hot - and everything seems so bright and full of color, like I just arrived in Oz. Winter is nice, too, when everything turns green and wet.

Spring. I love when all the green things and the flowers reappear after the winter. At school, there is a beautiful magnolia tree right on the path I follow to class, so when it started blooming, the air was full of that wonderful smell. Mmmmm!

I'm also into summer, since my birthday is in July, but summers get awfully hot and muggy around here in DC, so spring definitely gets my vote.

Spring and Fall are nice, weather is not hot, and you can acutally breathe the air. Winter is bad, wet and cold mostly. Summer is blazing hot and muggy as heck. Like breathing hot water.

Whom ever sung about hot, sultry summer nights being romantic obviously never slept in one.

The last two weeks of October. The leaves are turning, the air is cooler and less humid, and my birthday is near the end of the month when people have parties that I can pretend are for me instead of Halloween.

Spring is my favorite, I love seeing the earth come back to life again. I love that the weather is warm, but not too warm, and there is always a gentle breeze.

Next I like fall, it's so cozy and relaxing.

Winter and summer, I can do without. We don't get enough snow to have any fun, and it's too darn hot in the summer. I like the weather when it's mild, just like me!

Well for me its a tough decision. I dislike winter though. I'm not much one for the cold though I don't usually mind it so much when we actually have good insulation.

But my fav times are the Spring and Fall because in the Spring everything is turning green and is fresh and smells wonderful. Also its not too hot and there aren't too many bugs yet. The Fall because its not too hot just nicely crisp and the leaves look beautiful as they change as well as making a satisfying crunch beneath my feet. (These are also the best time for camping I find)

Summer is second I like it because its warm but there are too many bugs for my taste. (Specially mosquitoes which come out all at once at the best time of evening in the summer then I have to layer on the clothes and bug spray so as not to get bitten like crazy) and Winter (like I said) I hate because of the cold. If I could I would hibernate all winter. (Thats actually close to what I do.. only I still have to get up everyday)

Spring, because of the flowers. Fall because of the weather and the holidays. Winter because of the sweaters and the hats. Summer because school is out!

And I never thought I would say this, but welcome back, Mike.

I like winter for the snow and crisp, cold air.
I like autumn for the leaves turning and
the crisp,cool air.
I like spring for the new flowers and the
crisp, warn air.

I despise summer for the air you cannot breathe
and the heat. I went through hell when we had
90 degree days on May 6,7,8,9 of this year.

I walk outside at least an hour every day, so
all this is based on personal experience.

I really love fall, for the leaves changing color and the cool weather.

However, since I have lived in Columbia, I have forgotten what the usual seasons are like. It's nice for about a month in the spring, but now spring is over because it's been almost 100 degrees every day this week. Our four seasons are Somewhat Chilly, Pretty Warm, Hotter, and Unbearable.
