What is your favorite season of year? Why?
This one is probably not a surprise…
Autumn!
I always loved the sound of the word and its spelling.
The cobalt skies. The trees aflame. The VIBRANCY. The color.
The diamond morning frost. The first breath of coming winter.
The electric air. The haunting howl through the branches and winds shaking the house at night.
The way there’s something in the air that’s edgy, exciting… spectral and spooky.
I always feel the most alive in September and October. The most inspired and creative.
No surprise that my favorite holiday is Halloween—I even refer to 9/30 as October Eve and 10/1 as the First Day of Halloween 🤣
Always a goth at heart, even if I rarely dress that way these days because my ferrets would just shred the pretty clothes ❤️
(Maybe that will change…)
I’ll also note: I honestly miss the fall of the northern states I’ve lived in. Southern fall is gorgeous and lasts longer…
But you don’t get the chill, eerie early evening and howling wind that inspires ghost stories around a fire.

Spring is a very close second, because the flowers all bloom around my birthday.
What’s your favorite holiday and why?
