So, I am sitting here in my cozy livingroom, looking at the snow falling gently outside my window - I am thinking of how much I love winter...almost as much as I love fall. Haha, it is always such a hard decision between the two for me. All of this has me wondering what your favourite seasons are and why? Is there a certain feeling you get, maybe a particular smell or memory that makes you happy?
For me, my favourites are:
Fall: Love the smells, the colours of the leaves, the crispness in the air, jumping in piles of leaves, thoughts of baking yummy comforting food, the sense that nature is buttoning down for the winter and getting all cozy...
Followed very closely by winter: (but only if there is snow - I used to live on Vancouver Island where it rained all winter and was constantly grey, I used to find it positively oppressive, hated it) love the crunchy sound of snow underfoot, the feel of cold air against my skin, the absolute peace and quiet that snow brings, building snowmen and angels, wicked snowball fights, the way it sparkles in the sunlight...
Spring: thoughts of gardening, the rich smell of the earth awakening, digging in the dirt with bare hands, planting seeds, walking barefoot...
Summer: not such a huge fan of summer, would probably like it more if it didn't get so hot where I live. 40+ temperatures and me don't mix well, haha. Swimming is fun at a secluded lake somewhere, water fights.
