Favorite season

runpunkrun asked: "Favorite season? And traditions or memories you associate with it?"

While I feel like I should be even-handed about liking all the seasons, I have to say my favorite season is spring. All the gorgeous flowering trees and tulips and the sun coming out and warmer weather! Also my birthday is in mid-April and it's just such a celebratory-feeling time of year.

I especially like azaleas and rhododendrons, and make an annual ritual of visiting Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. Here's a post with pictures. Sadly I completely missed it this year because it shut down for the pandemic just before everything started blooming. Possibly this coming spring??

How about you? What's your favorite season, and what do you like about it?
