It’s almost here. Sneaking up on us like a cat stalking a leaf.
The breezy mornings, an almost all-the-way open window, clouds that roll overhead like bubbles from a bubble machine.
Summer is starting to pack up. Getting ready to move a little further south. And her sister Fall is pushing her way into her place.
This is actually my favorite time of year. I think it is for most people.
Most don’t like sweating in their underwear, nor do we care for barely moving under a pile of blankets when the temperatures dip below 30.
We enjoy life in the middle.
Very few of us live at either end of the Extreme. Hot/Cold, Up/Down. We may prefer nudging closer to one goal post over the other, but for the most part we hang out somewhere in the middle.
Good thing.
The extreme spots are important — where else could you enjoy snowmobiling, surfing, snow shoveling, and water parks? There is a need for anchors at both ends of the spectrum.
But many make a living in the in-between, too — plant and seed growers, fair organizers, high school sports coaches and wedding planners all prefer the cool warmth of Spring and Fall.
Me — I enjoy sweatshirts and football and soups and stews. I’m easy to please in the spring and fall.
Even though I like to think of myself as creative all year round, there’s something to be said about summer and winter projects. They just FEEL different.
I hate to admit I have more project ideas than drive and time to do them all. But there’s something about watching the leaves start to fall and seeing your breath in the morning air that makes me realize I don’t have forever to experiment.
What is your favorite time of year?

I like everything but Winter. I spent a year at the U.S. Naval Communications Station in Adak, Alaska. That was enough winter to last me a lifetime.

I always look forward to fall and renewed energy from cooler temperatures, but spring is my favorite season. We don’t have a lot of snow, so the landscape is grim. Brown and gray. And cold. I love the appearance of greens with trees leafing out and then all the flowers.

I love your description and I love that time of the year. I’m happy we both can appreciate Mother Nature for what she gives us!

I try to make “today” my favorite time of the year as let’s face it, we never know when the next thing we know is the last thing we know 🤔.
