I don’t know about you. But summer always goes too fast for me. You wouldn’t think that it would be any different than any other time of the year. The kids are out of school, but between soccer, social engagements and summer jobs, I hardly see them any more than I do during the year. And my job isn’t tied to the calendar—just the deadline!!! I work all year round and take my breaks (brief though they are) whenever I’m between projects.
And besides, I’m not a beach person, don’t love the heat, and don’t have time to work in my garden.
Right now, I’m on my “gotta get it done” schedule. Up at 6:00. Coffee and the NY Times crossword puzzle and I’m at the keyboard by 6:30. I’m working on a new series that is really exciting about four very special women each with a penchant for excitement and dangerous men. The first book takes place in summer. Thought that would give me a double whammy of warm weather and sunny days. (Plus it’s easier to write love scenes when you’re not dealing with coats, gloves and snow boots.)
But I still feel the days tumbling toward fall. Which is a good thing. I love fall. The leaves and the smells, and all that other good stuff, like pumpkin picking and hot apple cider. Plus the crisp clear air makes me feel really creative.
Which reminds me. I love winter, too. Oh yeah, and spring, too. So I guess I’m glad one season turns into another after all.
What about you? Which season is your favorite?

i do like the summer season.
I like the fall the best. I love the changing colors of the leaves, the cooler evenings and warmer days, but not the real hot like we sometimes get during the summer. This summer especially. I don’t look to forward to winter because we always get so much snow and cold and I hate to shovel it….
I enjoy spring the most. New beginnings and all that and usually I’m tired of winter by then lol. I had both my daughters in the spring (planned). I love watching things grow

Fall! I love Fall with that hint of crispness in the air, the lovely colors of the leaves and well, just because it’s my favorite time of the year! *G*
I love the fall and spring the best. Like you, I love the leaves changing colors and the smells of fall. I’m not a winter person at all.
I like the summer the best. I love the beach and the pool. I love the kids being home and clear nights that are warm enough that you can lay on a blanket and stare at the stars. But, after I think about it, I love the fall because of football and the changing of the leaves. I hate cold weather, so winter is a total bust for me. I never go outside and if I do I look like a walking pile of clothes. The one plus of winter is a fire in the fireplace, a cup of hot chocolate and a good book. I adore the spring. The promise of new beginnings, the smell of new grass, honeysuckles.
I think I need to move somewhere warm, so that I can have all the things I love and not the one thing I hate.
