I love warm days and cool nights. I love the colors of the changing leaves. I love the smell of the crisp evening air. I love to wear jeans and a cardigan.
What about you? What is your favorite season?

... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me

- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Spring.
I love when it starts to get warm. It's a magical time where in the same week we can go from brown ground and bare trees to lush grass and green leaves.
I love that the temperature starts to get out of the 40s and the weather is perfect in the 60s and 70s. Some summers, like this one we are finishing up now, are just too hot and humid. We had dewpoints into the 80s and that's just ridiculous.
As a kid I liked summer best because my birthday was (is) in June, school was out, and it was fun to go swimming but now that I just work in the summer it's like any other time of year.
I love summer, but that's because I'm a teacher and get the summers off. If I go by other things, then fall is my favorite. I love the weather changes and the coming holidays. I like new school years, football season, and new shoes on TV. Fall has Halloween and pumpkin pie!
I have always loved autumn. I am a school supply addict, and love when the new pencils and binders and notebooks come out. I love that snap in the air, and the relief from the summer heat. When I was a kid, I always found summer kind of dull... just one hot dusty day after another, but you never know what an autumn day will bring.
I am with you on loving fall. It is my most favorite season. It's a warm-up to the "big" holidays, and everything just seems..like there is electricity in the air..and I love wearing jeans and comfy sweater any of day of the week over shorts and a tank top..My birthday is in the fall (November) and we got married in the fall (October.) I just love it!!
I absolutely love Fall...the beautiful changing leaves, the cool crisp nights, and the absolutely amazing clear blue skies!
Hands down- fall! The crisp weather with the still warm sun, boots & sweaters!, hot chocolate and curling up with a book, the leaves, halloween & of course the most important- mine & the hubs birthdays!
Fall is my favorite. I love everything about it--the refreshing coolness after lots of heat and humidity, the changing leaves, wearing jeans and a sweater, apples, pumpkins, and my favorite holiday, halloween. Oh and i also love football--and baseball playoffs and the world series--so there's more reasons for me to love fall.
Oooh you described mine perfectly. I was just talking about this with my sister and my favorite season is fall too. I live in the north east - the colors are really beautiful. The only bad thing about fall is that it leads to my least favorite season... winter.
