Favorite season and why?
I have two favorites, Summer and Autumn. I love summer because the weather is great to be out and enjoy the sun. I love to walk, run and bike ride. Autumn is also a favorite because of the beautiful change in colors. Seeing the trees change from green to yellow, orange, red, brown is a gorgeous view.
