    I know its not quite here yet, but I love the first little signs of spring that are coming through :luv:
    I had a little walk around my garden this afternoon (short walk...small garden :hehe:) and I love the amount of little buds I can see, My pear and apple both are covered in buds, My rhubarb has one HUGE new leaf, my Acer is also covered in buds....I love it.
    Lets hope the predicted frosts for this week don't do too much damage:(

    I'm a definate summer person, love spring but summers the best.
    I know its pretty but i'm not really a big fan of autumn, to me it just signals the start of winter and cold weather.

    I'm definately a summer gal...whats your favorite?

    Although I like spring, to me, summer is the best.

    The long days that hopefully are warm is my favourite time.

    I hate Autumn more than Winter.

    I like the spring with its long awaited first flowers and promise of whats to come.

    But I live for the summer to lounge in the garden and soak up the sun with its birds insects and flowers.

    The autumn is a colourful time, but sad as summer comes to an end.

    Winter, by choice I would hibernate untill the spring comes around again. 02

    Spring.
    Getting into the garden after weeks of being stuck in doors.
    Everything starts to grow and come to life.
    The spring bulbs with their colour for the first time in months.
    The first cut of the lawn , that smell. Mmmmmm
    Azaleas ,my favourite flowers all round my garden in full bloom.
    Watching the birds nesting.
    Lighter nights.
    I love the Summer but to me it's just a follow on from the Spring which starts it all off.
    Autumn is colourful and always seems to be a happy time for me.
    I hate the Winter.

    I agree with Lyn, Spring is the favorite for me :thumb:

    After being inside all winter and dealing with snow and the frigid temperatures:flag:...there's nothing like getting outside and getting your hands dirty :gnthb::gnthb::yho:

    I'd say spring... after moving to Germany I also came to like summer a lot (it is too hot and parched in Italy).
    When I still lived in Italy I enjoyed very much the beginning of autumn when the air became cooler and sweeter after the horrid summer.

    Spring - because it's the most optimistic time of the year.

    Each year about now, I say to myself "This time, I'll get better results......"
