A few months of winter weather is fine by me... then I'm happy to move onto the next season...

Exactly. It's all about the seasons. What's so exciting about the flowers blooming if they're always blooming?

What I love is just when you're really getting tired of winter, Spring comes, the flowers open, you get that spring smell in the air. Then summer and heat and shorts and swimming. And just when you've had enough of that, Fall comes (I love Fall) and you get the crunch of fallen leaves under your feet and you feel that first chill in the air. Then winter comes just in time for the holiday season and you get to listen to all the wintery Christmas songs in a climate that actually matches the lyrics. :-) I love the "cocooning" aspect of winter. I get a few months where there's no pressure to be outside "doing something". You get to enjoy the coziness of being inside with the fireplace, a hot chocolate and a good book. And just when you've had enough of that.... Spring comes again.

I don't think I could ever live anywhere that doesn't have those four seasons.

Yup, you got it! Fall is my favorite season also.

My husband is a Californian (who migrated back east) who has never experienced the pleasure of a "snow day" from school!
