Official TEG Poll: Seasonal Favorite

[TEG Project Manager]

Each season brings its own joys and challenges on the homestead. Spring is full of new beginnings, summer is busy with growth, fall is about harvesting and storing, and winter is the time to rest and plan. Everyone has their favorite, depending on what they love most.

Which season makes you happiest on the homestead? Do you live for planting, love the harvest, or cherish the quiet of winter? Share your favorite season and what makes it special for you.

Favorite season is Autumn. Leaf color in the Pacific Northwest is loaded with color, shades of the rainbow ignites the calm and peacefulness in the landscape from the mountains, rivers snd plaines to Seaside.

When I was a child on the homestead, Autumn was when I could be off to school and doing something different from farm work. The weather was usually pleasant until November so there was a good start to the school year and learning about a wider world and the people who live there.

As I became more involved with plants and in growing them, Spring was more important. I had to be past the wet, rainy part and into sunny days. With experience, small plants came to suggest a promise of reward .

Of course, the reward came with Summer. We can stand under a blue sky in the garden and be surrounded by it!

The Winter, snow-covered landscape can be so peaceful ... if there is any clearing of heavy, Winter clouds — there is light surrounding us, even during the nights.
