December Daily: seasons

sage asks: What's your favorite thing from each season of the year? (Optional: least favorite?)

That's a fun question!

My favorite thing about summer is fresh tomatoes, but I have many least-favorite things about summer, chief among them being heat, humidity, and mosquitoes.

My favorite thing about fall is -- hm. I love so many things about fall. But I think maybe migrating geese, and the sound they make. Or maybe the color of the sky in October? My least favorite thing about fall is knowing winter's coming.

My favorite thing about winter is Christmas, and my least favorite thing about it is cold weather.

My favorite thing about spring is the smell of dirt when it's finally thawed. Fresh asparagus comes in a very close second. I can't think of any least favorite thing about spring, actually, except being braced for hot weather coming.
