GTKY - pick a season

[emmagk]

If you had to pick one season to live in forever what would it be, Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter?

[emmagk]

I always say Autumn is my favourite but if I could only have 1 season forever it would be summer. Swimming outside, drinking and eating on patios, no coats or gloves needed - bliss

Oh but 1 caveat is that i need AC. We don't have AC right now and sometimes inside can be miserable in the summer

[lrmrtn]

Autumn. I love the weather - comfortable enough to outside but with a bit of crispness. And I love the changing leaves. Plus apple picking and pumpkins.

[meggypoo1]

I do like somethings about each season but if I had to pick just one it would 100% be summer. It is my all time favorite season. Oh summer... where are you?!

[microworm]

I picked Autumn. It was in the high 60s/low 70s this weekend and I was just thinking how perfect it is. I guess Spring would be the same so either one is fine.

Autumn everything.

[bliz1712]

I picked Summer, although I do like fall. I'd rather have it warm then the cold. Winter would be my last choice.

This is summer weather in Seattle. Lol

[Susan0utLoud]

I voted autumn, but really I just want it to be Mid-August to Mid-September Seattle weather all the time. That's my perfect.

Spring in theory would be the same as fall but my spring allergies ruin it for me.

[comicSans]

I voted spring. Fall is my favorite, but everything is dying then, so if I had to pick one forever it would be spring with its sunny warmth and promises of new beginnings.

SOME OF US LIVE IN THE LAND OF TEMPERATURE EXTREMES, SUSAN. DON'T RUB IT IN.

Autumn for me. I love everything about it. The colours, the leaves, the weather, loads of outside activities to do with kids (pumpkin picking, apples, pumpkin carvings, running through leaves, splashing in puddles, bonfire night), school goes back, dark nights.

I also love the cycle of the countryside and seeing the harvest, then the fields getting ploughed and turning instantly from yellow/green to the darkest of mud brown and knowing the land will be peaceful until spring. I think in the country more than anywhere, you get a real feeling for autumn and its impact of nature.

[microworm]

Jealousy is right. 70s is perfect weather. But it's either -25 or 95 degrees with 150% humidity here. Sometimes there is a 50 degree swing within a day or 2.

Although I can't complain about this winter. Yay global warming?

[emmagk]

I love when spring finally arrives and after winter even cooler temps feel blissfully warm. But the grass is brown and muddy, the river alway floods, the lakes aren't warm enough for swimming yet, sometimes it snows, and the mosquitos come out.

Summer-late summer here is perfect, but it's grey the rest of the time. That gets old.

I'm here and voted.  I had to pack and drive to my parents house today.  

Winter all the way.  No bugs, no heat index or humidity.  No bugs.

[NJgirl84]

Autumn, the crisp cool mornings/nights but still warm enough during the day in early fall, then perfect sweater weather late fall. The colors, apple/pumpkin picking, sitting around the fire in the evening. And cider donuts! Mmmmmmm

[athn64]

Autumn for me. I love spring too, but the colors of fall are just richer. Plus apple cider

[scotty138]

I love everything about autumn. I also love winter, but I like that it eventually ends. I like living somewhere with 4 distinct seasons.

Yes, seasons are great. I am missing decent snow this year.

[emmygirl]

My favorite is spring. 70s weather with a chance of random snow and the air feels cleaner.

[haykay13]

Autumn. Not so hot. Tourists are going home and I can finally make it to the beach.

The correct answer is summer

It would explain a lot.

[springbeduk]

I must have all 4. Or at least 3 - summer is skippable or can be real short because spring and fall cover most of the good parts of summer.

I love winter but all year long would be too much. comicSans is spot on with spring vs. autumn comparison giving spring the win, but then again, someone else - sorry I can't remember who at the moment - correctly pointed out spring is when mosquitos cone out. Not to mention blackflies.
And spring/early summer has strawberries. And viruses and lilacs and lupines. But lots of other yummy foods are ripe in the early fall. So ... Gotta have all the seasons. Plus I wouldn't appreciate any of them as much without the contrast to the others.
