It just seems that the fall colors this year didn't last long enough. Last year we had a very long fal and I loved it - it was so nice. Hopefully - since the winter weather is here so soon and so strong, sring will be here quicker! OH HOW I HOPE!
I wish we could have 3 seasons... and WINTER would not be one of them!! If we could only have 1 month of winter I would Love it. A white Christmas would be nice though. Cookie 
Move to Phoenix Az~ You'll have these seasons: Spring (about 2 months)~ Summer ~ Hot Summer ~ Sort of Autumn~ oh yeah ... a day or two of Winter (?) so I guess in Phoenix we have 5 seasons Our fall colors are the same as Spring, Sumer and Hot Summer~ Brown
But WAIT........... There's more!!
You can drive north to Flagstaff (2 1/2 hr drive) and have a White Christmas
Seriously, I miss the crisp very cool Autumns of NJ and White Winters ~ I prefer the cold over the heat ~ the only good thing I can say is in Phoenix you are guaranteed 360 days of Blue Skies and Sunshine, a dry heat, so when its 118 in the summer no humidity.
I miss the rains in NJ ~ it's a holiday event if we get rain here

Your Funny, I like Az and at least it is a dry heat with Blue Skies, Sunshine!! 118 in Summer that's HOT!!
Chicago Winters can feel like a lifetime, you just can't wait until Spring!! Last Winter I took up snow removal as my exercise routine. When your moving around the cold is not so bad. The crisp air feels good as long as it's not that really cold wind blowing air, frost biting, that's Hell!
I just got my sweaters all washed and ready for Winter, put all my summer, stuff away. Thats another thing you have so many different clothing, shoes, boots ect... ect... when you live in a place with 4 seasons. If it were up to me I would be in flip flops year round!! Cookie

Me too Cookie, me too!!! I love sandals and flip-flops and also hate clothing that is restrictive and binding; like winter clothes are :mad:
I was made for a Tropical Island almost made it by being born & raised in Miami, FL.
It's just that I HATE WINTER and everything associated with it INCLUDING SNOW:( I honestly can not stand the stuff, it causes nothing in my heart except disgust for the mess it makes!!! And all the myraid of leaves covering everything it's just slap ugly and a big old nusience!
Give me summer 24/7 and I am a happy soul!!!
