Day 131: My Favorite Season

The Prompt: Which season do you like best?  Why? Describe.

This is a tricky question for a couple reasons.  Now that I live in Hawaii, I don't necessarily experience seasons.  The locals say there are two seasons, the wet and rainy seasons.  I can notice that the days can get longer and shorter, although not as drastic as on the mainland, and sometimes I can feel a slight temperature change.  I can use my memory of seasons.

Another problem I have is that I think my favorite season has changed since I was little.  I used to say my favorite season was summer, merely because I could have no school.  While I still enjoy doing what I want all summer, I have come to appreciate the beauty that each season has to offer, along with the excite of birthdays and holidays.

I'd like to say that now my favorite season is spring.  Springtime represents growth and ushers in new life, with the end of winter.  It brings hope and sunshine.  Flowers begin growing, butterflies flutter, and birds twitter.  Easter is the epitome of all those beautiful ideas, so it seems fitting that it is in spring.  Jesus gives us all a second chance in life and eternal hope.  For our family, spring is the birthday season, with three birthdays.  Then with Memorial Day, we have a tasty cookout with hamburgers and grilled chicken and vegetables.  There's always some family activity we do.  Plus, the excitement for summer is felt with almost everyone.
