What is your favorite season? Mine is autumn. I love that it is cool. The colors are so vivid, the autumn smeels just feel so homey! Ya know- burning leaves, apple cider, cinnimon oil. You can work ourside without getting heat stroke. Spring to me is dismal-cold wet, muddy. Summer is too hot! But the fall and winter oh yeah!

Exactly some of the reasons fall is my favorite as well Moondance! The leaves and colors are one of the biggies for me...and yes the smells! It is just a festive time of year and I love it! I love the cold weather foods...chili, spaghetti, soups...and the baking...I whipping up a batch of cinnamon rolls today. Crazy as it may be, I keep my house fall decorated all year. The warm inviting colors...and lot's of leaves! I even leave my favorite Turkeys out all year (Snappy Tom & Snappy Timmy) they are soup & gravy terains..but I love them!

So...Fall is too stressful to be in the running for "favorite".
That leaves summer and spring.

I'll have to rule one of those out and get back with my final answer.

Cindy Marie

Uh...do you need to use your lifeline???

Well...I've already used the "take away 2 answers"...and the "phone a friend"...so I guess it's down to "ask the audience"!

SUMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Fall is nice when it first begins, but never does it stay all nicey~nice!!!
I'ts too cold, and freezing rains, and chilling temps..

Spring is nice, all new babies, but it's so slow
when waiting for stuff to poke it's head out....

Winter, well, I am already tired of shoveling
it yet, and it hasn't even snowed.. so there's your answer...

But summer, its' warmth, and green growth and
bbq's and doing things, and sunshine...and freshly mowed grass..........

Cindy, PHONE HOME!!!!!

Guess what?

I've made up my own season....Yep, I have--and it's my fav. of them all!

Sprummer--the best time of the year if you ask me!!!!!

Yep, laugh all you want...but that is my answer and I'm sticking to it!

Cindy, what do you think about Sprummer?????? Since you like spring and summer maybe you can jump on the Sprummer bandwagon with me...Maybe we could promote it and get it made into a real season....

I like Loz's season- sprummer! That's perfect, Loz, cause I was just sitting here trying to figure out how to pick between the two.
I also love the BEGINNING of fall- when that AMAZING fall smell is in the air, and the leaves are changing and it's nice and cool. I always forget how much I like this part of the year until it rolls around again.
Problem is, once the clocks get set back, the whole rest of the year is all downhill. In fact "Fall Back" day is probably my least favorite day of the whole year. I wish we could abolish it-- just spring forward for good, by golly! Anyone with me on that?

Sprummer for me also. I always thought mine was fall, but since it has been raining everyday this month, I'd say spring. I think it changes.lol.

I'm on the bandwagon!
It's Sprummer for me, too!

And that's my final answer!

Cindy Sue

Yeh....Cindy's on the sprummer bandwagon with me...as well as Geegee and Tamara.

I'm SO with you on that Geegee, you have no idea!!!! I HATE fall back day....I hate how dark it gets so early..... :p

O.K...I'm coming along with you guys on this one, too.
I get really messed up for a long time when they mess with the time. I hate setting the clocks up, or back...I can't ever figure out which one I'm supposed to do, so I usually just try to ignore it until it goes away.

Cindy Sue

How's that working for ya????

Dad was telling me that when he was a young boy in London that they had double daylight savings time.....and it would be light outside until 11 at night.....I thought WOW, that would be fine with me!!!!!LOL

It works pretty good for 6 months out of the year.

Good Lord, if it stayed daylight til 11 p.m. I'd never get Lola to bed!
But, I'd sure like to have that extra daylight!

I can't jump on your band wagon...sorry. I would have to go with...

Saller.......winter is much too cold...and I'm with Weezie on Spring...you just have to wait til things pop their little heads out...AND it rains so much!!! So, I am going to have to (since we can now pick 2, thank you LOZ!!) go with summer/fall........Saller!

WOW...was that BIG or what? Guess I made my point!

That looks like my neighbors baby!!!

Hhmm...now that would scare me!

Weezie...I hope your neighbor isn't lurking on the forum...

Me too

My next door neighbor (the nice one) asked me about my gardening forum that I talk about all the time...but I still haven't told her the name of it. They know too much about me already...I don't know if I want them reading what I put on here! They'd probably tell tales on me.
(She's the one that's pulled me out of the pond a few times.) :rolleyes:
She thinks I'm looney, but she likes me anyway.

So do we....


Uh...like you...that is!

Love that sig line!

Man it hurts to put the truth into words!!!!

Uhhh...it HURTS to know the only heavy breathing I'll probably hear from now on is my OWN!

Oh, well...it sure beats an unpleasant break-up when it's over!

Yep...and you ca still roll over and smoke afterwards...you just have to light your own cig!

I know deep down...you are really laughing at that last PM....

...and Mary is just IMAGINING that PM!

and afterwards, I needed a cigarette!

No doubt about it; I LOVE,LOVE Fall and Winter. I HATE SUmmer the most.

Winter - definitely - I love the snow and crisp dry air, the way things look clean and new when it snows, the stark trees with no leaves - nevermind, that sounds sick even to me. Mid-autumn with the leaves changing and the air drying, cool nights and medium warm days. Spring with new growth, a million shades of green, birds at the feeders, but oh the pollen - the yellow cars, sneezing, watery eyes. I really don't like summer - too much Marching Band practice in the broiling hot sun. The parking lot last summer was 116 degrees.

Yea! I like Loz's suggestion as well. Sprummer for me!!

Been there, done that ....I have to say that wasn't much fun....being out in the heat on the field with our stupid dot book..... :p



Yah Meg, another Sprummer lover!

Great pic Loz!

Cool, loz!
Maybe I'll post my band picture now! NOT!

Closest I got to the band was...
...well, I better not tell that story here.

Just kidding...
I was a majorette...not really what you'd classify as "band" I guess. :rolleyes:

That's getting to be a pretty old pic.... Let's see I was 16 then...so it was almost 14 years ago....that was my natural hair color---I haven't seen that for years..... I loved being on the flag/rifle squad....it was a lot of hard work, but a lot of fun too.

Cindy, we weren't really classified as band either......one day we(the flags) all snuck off the field and the director didn't even notice we were gone....all he cared about was the actual band...although during performances we were a big part of the scoring for competitions...

Cute picture. Band and guard are now considered a single entity unless one group is in trouble and the rest want to distance themselves. My girl is pit percussion so she at least doesn't have to spin or march but when it's that hot even standing still is a work out (not to mention pushing the heavy equipment up hill, both ways, etc... )

Awwe, loz was so cute in flags. Here's me & Steve the first week we were together.



I HATED those uniforms. SO HOT! *blech* That was without the nasty hat too. Which we always wore. This was marching band. Concert band was ok, just had to wear a long black dress or skirt/blouse.

I love the new season ya'll have come up with-sprummer! It's great, now I can dream thru this cold days. WOW-SPRUMMER!!1

Is it sprummer yet?

My favorite season ie Hunting season all of them. Fishing season last year round here it is also my favorite season.
Jimmy

Loz- GREAT photo. Isn't it funny to see yourself when you were just a baby.

You know, I just read something about that Double Summer time in England a coupole of weeks ago, and thought, "Man, that would ROCK!" I happened onto a website about daylight savings all over the world, and found out all kinds of interesting daylight savings trivia:

Like there are fewer traffic accidents during daylight savings, and energy consumption is cut significantly. (Apparently the reason for England's double Summer Time during WWII)

Like, Japan doesn't do daylight savings. Neither does Arizona, Hawaii, or some parts of Indiana.

Like, somebody sucessfully avoided being drafted in the Vietnam war by using daylight savings. He argued that his state's "official" time for recording births was standard time, and he was born during daylight savings, and if they had recorded standard time, he would have been born the previous day, which had a much better lottery number.

Some kid in California was charged with reckless driving and vehicular manslaughter in an accident where he said someone's sprinkler system had soaked the road causing it to be unnaturally slippery. The guy who had installed the sprinkler system testified that that was impossible because he had the system set for such-and-such a time. Then the kid's lawyer (I think) figured out that the guy hadn't adjusted for daylight savings, and was able to prove the sprinklers had been on for like 45 minutes, so the kid was found not guilty.

Okay, sorry, done with the daylight savings trivia. Didn't mean to bore you, I just thought it was interesting. Also, all part of my campaign to make daylight savings permanent!

Cool!
I thought that was VERY interesting.

Cindy Sue

I thought that was all really cool info ....It's freaky you were just reading about that in England...not too many people know about that...heck, even I didn't until Dad told me....I hate turning the clocks back :p .....I don't understand why we do it....We would save energy if it wasn't turned back..... Maybe it's a conspiracy from the government so we DO pay more energy bills.....

OMG!
You don't even want to get me started on Conspiracy Theories"!

I think it's somehow related to the farmers. Supposedly, the farmers hate daylight savings. Farmers? Is this true? Got anything to say for yourselves?

Oh, here's another one:

Amtrak has a policy that their trains never depart early. So any train that is on time and underway when the clocks get set back will actually STOP and wait an hour before resuming their normal route. During spring forward, they just keep going and make up the lost time as best they can.
