What is your favorite season?
My favorite season is autumn. grin

Do the seasons affect your moods/depression? If so, how?
I get so happy when the temperature starts to cool and the leaves start to turn! I'm almost like a different person! I don't like it when the time changes and the days get so short, but I'll take that over long, 90+ eek degree days anytime!

Since no one else has commented on this, I'll comment on it myself.

As I said in the original post, I love it when the temperatures cool off and the leaves change, AND WHEN FOOTBALL STARTS! ROLL TIDE! : )

However, when all the Halloween stuff comes out and all the horror/scary movies come on, it affects me spiritually. I feel more depressed because I get drawn into the darkness. Always on November 1st, I feel like a different person, tho'. I feel like a weight has been lifted off me.

Does anyone else experience anything like that?

I love autumn as well - however - Halloween is one of my favorite times of year.

The other seasons are alright - winter is odd as I am in Florida. I grew up in snow country (Watertown, NY area) and have been here more than in NY...but have been getting sooo homesick, even when I know it is 10 below zero...??

Spring is the one season that I could actually care less about.

Hi, Robin--

What part of Florida are you in? I lived in Pensacola for 4 years, but we still had winter there. It didn't get severely cold, but it got into the 40s at night and a few times a year, it got into the 30s. I missed the snow, tho'. We don't get a lot of snow here in NW Alabama, but that's okay. I don't think I'd like shoveling snow! My back couldn't handle that!

Usually by the time it gets really cold here, I'm putting up my Christmas tree. I put it up early--usually around mid-November--because I love it so much and because it's such a huge job, I want to be able to enjoy it for as long as possible!

Thanks for your post! I've been getting lonely in here! smile

Would the following make for a good opening paragraph for story. Wayne could no longer ignore the racket developing in the hallway outside his room and he was eventually forced to open his eyes. Both his eyes were underneath webs of blood-red veins and were both quite sensitive, they were both puffed below and had black circles around them. Clearly he had not rested sufficiently. how can I improve this paragraph and is it an acceptable opening paragraph.

Oh by the way I think all seasons have got something different to offer. I essentially know of only two seasons: Summer and Winter. Where I live Summer provides shelter from the cold Winter nights and Winter provides relieve from the boiling hot Summer Sun.

Land O Lakes is a couple of towns above Tampa. St. Augustine, possibly Melbourne or Cedar Key-ish are places I think about moving to.....

I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT OPENING PARAGRAPH FOR A STORY & I WOULD CHANGE IT ONLY AS FOLLOWS:

Wayne could no longer ignore the racket developing in the hallway outside his room. He was eventually forced to open his eyes, which were both colored by webs of blood-red capillaries, and were quite sensitive. They were both puffy below and had black circles around them. Clearly, he had not rested sufficiently.

I'm not sure why you asked my opinion on your opening paragraph, but I hope my suggestions are helpful to you. smile

Thank you so much Kitten, your suggested changes have transformed my paragraph into a real opener. It flows way much better now.
