Autum is my favorite season because orange is my favorite color and I love the colors of fall. Leaves are one of my go to subjects when I paint and or quilt.
My favorite season is Spring.I love to go in my garden and watch the bulbs peek up through the soil and watch the buds come out on the lilac bushes. Planning the planting of new annuals and
perennials is a joy for me and I can’t wait to see the flowers in my planters. One of my great memories in the dead of winter is lying in my swing under the lilac bushes reading a good book while also watching the birds collect twigs for their nests. i can hardly wait to get back outside.
My favorite season is Autumn. Everything is so peaceful, the weather is not too hot, not too cold, and the colors are brilliant. Have a super day!
I’d have to say autumn if I have to make a choice. It seems to present fewer problems and less work than the others, but you reach a point where you think they’re all beautiful!
To me, spring is the best season. It holds so much promise. It means the end (finally!) to the long winter in Minnesota. I love when everything starts to green up.
Spring is the best! I can get out and clean up the garden and watch for new growth. After snow and mud a little color is such a thrill.
Spring is my favorite season! New life and the freshness of the air is so invigorating!
Summer. It feeds my soul.
La primavera sin dudas .Cuando veo las primeras flores violetas de los Jacarandaes ya es agradable caminar y disfrutar del sol.
My favourite season is spring. I love spring flowers – tulips, daffodils, hyacinths – and seeing the first ones come into bloom.
I love the fall because of the smells of the leaves and harvests and the changing light. It’s the most beautiful.
Fav season is spring. That’s the season I actually feel like getting up off my patooty to go outside and walk and check for new flowers sprouting up. I also like planting the garden which exercises some of the fat off that patooty that sits around in the winter.
I am definitely in the late summer/ early autumn category. Spring is too wet, winter is too… well winter, summer is too hot and late autumn is drab :D I am not too fussy!
Since moving to Southern Nevada, my favorite season has switched from Summer to Spring. I have always enjoyed sunny weather , and springtime here is just right:-)
My favorite season is spring. It is not too hot and it is time of first flowers, I love roses and tulips. Hugs Alessandra
Hi!!! I love Spring!!! The sunshine!!! The warmth!!! The Flowers!!!! Green grass!!!! The renewal of life!!!! I can’t think of anything I don’t like about spring!!!! Thank You
My favorite season is Autumn. I live where it is over 100 degrees in the summer so once to cooler weather gets here, I’m happy! I love when the air is cool and crisp and you can bundle up, inside or outside, hehe. Also, the holidays are around the corner and lots of time to be with family and friends.
Thank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

My favorite season is definitely Fall. I love everything about it, from the spicy flavors to the crisp temperatures!
Autumn! Because I don’t have to go back to school any more! Because the weather is cool and crisp. Beacause it’s the perfect time to start quilting a big quilt to keep my heart and body warm during the cold months to come.
I love spring and planting flowers. It is so nice to be able to get outside after being cooped up all winter.
I love fall. The colours, the smells, pumpkin pie. Leaf piles, vegetables stored for winter. A little slower pace after the rush of summer.
My favorite season is spring, the air fills up with promises, lovely light, fresh greens, birds singing, and not too hot yet to sit and work outside.
My favorite season is summer. I love driving my 1965 Mustang convertible around, swimming, and going to small town fairs/carnivals!
My favorite season is summer. It is never cold in summer and my body can tolerate heat better than cold.
I would say spring, but sometimes spring gets cold again.
I love fall, when it’s not so hot, but weather is still nice. It’s a calm time of year.
I love the crisp smell of a Fall day. The leaves turn my favorite colors and the apple orchards are ripe with fruit. Can homemade apple pies be far away??!!
I love spring — planting the garden and getting the flower beds ready — can’t wait :)
My favorite season is absolutely summer, since the beach , including the ocean and the sand and the sun is my favorite place to be. That time is my own, sinceI don’t have to be anywhere else, or doing anything else.
Spring is my ABSOLUTE favorite season. The cold dreary winter wakes up from its long slumber. Beautiful colorful blossoms poke their heads through the soil and the grass turns a lovely green. The warm air is scented with an enticing fragrance that lifts your spirits!
Fall is my favorite time of year, I love all the leaves falling!
My favorite season is Autumn, I love the colors of the changing leaves and the cooler temps…but i do feel a sense of of sadness .that i dont care for.
my favorite season is fall I just love the leaves changing and the way the air feels and smells.
I love spring. It is the promise of all things made new again. It is the first sign of color after the long, dreary grey that fills the winter sky and the white that covers the green.
I like all the seasons for various reasons, but if I had to choose, I would say Fall is my favorite because of the colors, scents and cooler but comfortable temperatures.
Fall is my favorite season. Football, marching band, birthday, Halloween, and Thanksgiving!
SPring is my favorite. Overnight everything seems to come alive again. Awesome!
Spring! Love the budding trees and bulbs poking their way up through the soil. I love summer, too, but in CA it can get too hot to do much outside.
Spring! I love all the flowers!
