Well when I lived in Ohio it was the fall because of the smell of the leaves, the brisk cold air, pumpkin pie, apple cider, hot chocolate time, with the family holidays right around the corner. Now that I live in the mountains where it drops 3 feet of snow on us on the regular I would have to say summer because it finally quits snowing and starts to warm up (still wearing winter clothes in the morning and at night in June here...yuck)
