We did not even have a summer here in the netherlands, all we had was rain...We did not go on holiday, because we had a baby girl in april and i did not want to drive far ( we had to drive really far to the south of france or even spain to get some sun) or fly because of my 3 year old boy...he just can't sit still for 5 seconds let alone 5 hours on the plane, lol..

I completely agree with this. I absolutely love fall, especially here in New England, but I definitely wish I could go south from December through early March, especially after the last winter we had.

i do, my least favorite season is summer and i find creativity very difficult during this time of year.

i love winter and fall best and typically do my best work during this time.

I hope summer went on around the globe to bless others with it's hot/humid/hazy days. I'm loving the cooler morns, food tasting better & Fall is on the way!!!

Fall and Winter (especially Winter!!) are my favorite time of year. Cool, crisp mornings. The smell of apples permeates the air. Being able to wear hand-knit sweaters. Not sweating my butt off looking like a damp dish rag all the time. And, I love to play in the snow! I don't even mind shoveling or using the snow blower, which is a good thing since I live outside of Buffalo! :shock:

The one thing I love about summers is the long days.I suffer from that seasonal disorder during the winter and it seems to get worse every year.

The weather here has been fantastic. Clear cool nights and warm in the mid 80's days. I am loving it and not ready to have Fall yet. Even though I think Fall is fantastic here. The only reason I like Winter is that I can sew more. I hate the cold.
