2025 has completely changed my outlook on the seasons, to be honest.
It's for the better too. In my quest to be the "retired tech worker turned farmer" while still having my engineering job, I spent a LOT of time outside this year doing construction and creating DIY equipment to care for my pets.
With that, I have started my natural evolution into the old man that complains about losing daylight. And since I've lost weight I don't like staying quite as cold as before.
So winter has moved way down the list for me. I think Spring has too, because of the wet and the rain.
I still don't like it hot, and I love my beautiful outdoor scenery, so I think Autumn still takes the crown but I am looking forward to the long summer days next year more than ever. I have shit to do, I have plants that will need the sun, and I even have some reptiles that like getting the real thing too.
You might be on to something.
I love hurricanes and yes it's the only time off you get in Florida. Could get up to 2 weeks if everything's fucked. It's great. So long as it isn't your stuff destroyed.
You think they made summer a break from school, so that kids and teachers don't have to suffer working with that shit?
I think it had more to do with farming families wanting the kids at home to help with the work during the growing season and out of their faces during winter.
I guess it depends on where you live. Summer over here is 3 months of 25c sunny days, heavenly
