Hi everyone, it's been busy days here clearing up after the storm damage. Although we have not had much sunshine round here I have had fun imagining sunny days at the beach and have taken great delight in imagining this new set of Favourite Moments Prints - you can see more about them in the Teddy Bear Art section here on this site http://www.teddy-talk.com/viewforum.php?id=38
What are your Favourite Moments and seasons of the year?
Hugs,

I DO LOVE THE COUPLE OF WEEKS OF SUMMER WE GET HERE EACH YEAR BUT FOR ME MY ABSOLUTE FAVE IS WINTER, HIDING UNDER LAYERS OF BAGGY CLOTHES, SNUGGLING UP UNDER A WARM DUVET. BONFIRE NIGHT, GETTING DARK EARLIER AND GLASSES FOGGING UP WHEN YOU GET IN FROM THE COLD!
PLUS THERES CHRISTMAS AND MY BIRTHDAY WHICH MAKES IT EVEN BETTER!!!
Catherine, your prints are really special - very cute! For me it's spring. Literally a time for renewal and awakening from a dull, brown, boring winter. But I have to say that fall is a really close second. I LOVE fall colors and the cooler weather.
I think I like them all as they all have something special! I love the long long days of Summer, the promise of Spring, Autumn brings gentle days with no wind (just about the only time of year that Tassie isn't windy!) and Winter....... where we are right now, snuggling up indoors, walking the dogs in the brisk air with no snakes about and warming bowls of soup with freshly baked bread.....mmmmmmm does life get any better?
rainy days. you feel all cosy inside the house rubbing your hands together in front of the fire.
In summer I love winter the best. In winter I love summer actually it would have to be winter as summer here seems to be getting hotter and hotter. This last summer we went from October until March without a day under 30C and many, many days of 45C plus. Winter here seems to last about 6 weeks and although the nights are often below zero the days are usually between 17 and 23. OK I have convinced myself that winter wins.
Love your piccies Cath! I've got the song "to every thing, there is a season" in my head now lol I love winter, of course winter where I live is still mainly sunny with days of 17C, perfectly beautiful Its winter now weehee
Catherine your prints are beautiful and do show the best of every season. I like the beginning of each season. Then I get bored and want the next one..... Right now I would be happy for any change in season. Had one and a half years of it being the same every day, except that some days it rains harder than others. You also get bored with wearing the same thing over and over. Would kill to wear a tracksuit and fluffy top, Pair of socks and slippers. And climb into a bed with a duvet and electric blanket.......hmmmmm roll on October when I can escape for a bit
this is such fun to hear what you all like. I too love the start of each season, Spring after a long dark winter when the garden starts to come back to life and you hear the bird song in the garden, Autumn after all the heat of Summer with crisp days and kicking the leaves Right now we seem to have had Summer in April then hail storms, thunder and rain all week and right now it's dark and cold just like winter! I've got warm jumpers and slippers on! Still, good bear making weather!

I love the color of Fall here in Colorado, the golds and reds, the cool crisp in the air, the smell of fireplaces!
Hi Catherine,
I love your seasons cards, very sweet.
I enjoy all the seasons really, snuggling up in Winter, swimming in the Summer, Spring flowers and then the Autumn leaves falling.
They all have something special about them.

Fabulous cards Catherine! For me it's got to be spring, with days getting warmer and flowers and leaves opening. The days getting longer, so no sewing by artificial light (I hate that) Then comes the summer, I love to sit in my dinning room with the patio windows wide open, listening to the birds singing and children playing. I don't enjoy summer when it's too hot as I don't cope with the extremely hot days too well. However I love to sit outside on a summers evening as it gradually slides into darkness. That's just what I did last night, wonderful!
Hugs, Jane.
Love your art work, Catherine!
Seasons? they seem to be getting all mixed up these days - like you - a few days of summer (or should I say - the season formerly known as summer) - and then the most horrible black, wet and windy days - it was utterly miserable on thursday.
For me , the thing that counts is SUNSHINE............think I suffer from SAD, and just get so depressed when it's dark and grey....... but it's end to end BLUE skies today, so I'm a happy bunny

love your new prints, Catherine. We only have 2 seasons here: hot and hotter. Or hurricane season and not hurricane season. I like spring b/c it's so pretty, but I also like fall here because that's when we get some relief from the summer heat.
I just love your prints Catherine.......they always bring a smile to my face
My favourite season has to be spring. I love seeing all the colour springing up all around after a dull and dreary winter. Spring is just full of new promises and new beginnings!!! It also heralds the start of warmer weather and sunny days. I'm with Maria....i just love the sun and really feel down over the winter months.......guess I'm staying in the wrong country then
Hugs
Janice
I love all the seasons as they all have their own special thing although the only thing I hate with winter is all the dark evenings as they are so depressing so you are not alone Maria and Janice

I too love the sunshine, but not the heat of Summer, however right now not even sure if we are going to get summer! We had dark days and rain and thunder storms all last week, then glorious sunshine on Sat, then Sunday back to darkness and rain... forecast all week too Feels like hibernating like in the Winter!
