Weekly off-topic post

[smeddley]

(Let's pretend I didn't fall off the wagon last weekend, otherwise my excuses would fill a War and Peace-sized novel...)

Autumn (for us Northern Hemisphere-ers) started three weeks ago, but this weekend it started to look like it for the first time. Sure, last weekend was chillier, but the leaves have turned and started dropping, so even though it's warmer it feels like fall. Which happens to be my favorite season, edging out spring because there are fewer violent storms and I live in tornado alley. Except that freak storm we had Friday night, where the thunder actually rattled pictures on the wall. But I digress (hey, I just got up, a little muddled, yes...).

Seasons! Change! Turn, turn turn... What is your favorite season? And why?

Optional writing exercise: a season holds special meaning for your character, which one and why?
