Fall, always. The summer heat is thru, but still lingers on the ground. The air is crisp, the trees bloom in a last show of color before they sleep and nothing beat an Autumn Thunderstorm for wildness
I love fall. I love sitting outside watching the leaves blow in the wind. The trees are the most beautiful part. I drive around in different areas just to see all the different colors fall has to offer. I love that the days get shorter and the nights get longer. I'm going to enjoy snuggling with my honey this fall season.
I'm going to have to go with winter. From a sports perspective, nothing beats the college football season winding down with the bowl games and college basketball ramping up. I love rainy Saturdays in the winter, where I have nothing to do but watch college basketball. And you can still get some golfing in, too, if you can still a chill in the air.
And oh yeah, technically March Madness starts in winter... and for me, the first two rounds are the best part, so that adds to it.
Autumn! I love the colors, the weather getting cooler, and less humidity!
Gotta be Autumn. The awful heat of the summer wanes, football starts anew, the baseball season hits the pennant race, anticipation for the holidays finally hits, and did I mention temperatures get comfortable again?
