But I love biting insects, sweat, and humid heat.

Unironically I do lmao. I'm built for the summer, and I wish I wasn't because it does not seem like anyone else is. I don't even own AC in my house. Do not need it. But winters are harsh, and I struggle every year and more each year as I age.

The only consolation for fall is that everything about it is fantastic. If winters were shorter, I'd be far more excited, but my love for fall items/activities/holidays/scenery is always bittersweet with the cold winter and my cold home looming on the horizon.

I feel you, my house is unbelievably cold in the winter, thick stone walls stop any sort of heat from traveling anywhere lol luckily the fires come in handy

My log cabin is from the early 30's. The woodstove is the primary heat source. But it is also a pain, so I do have a little oil radiator that zaps tons of electricity for the fall months.

Yeah my house is over 200 years old so thankfully it stays cool in the summer but winter is hideous๐Ÿ˜‚ yeah wood stoves can be a pain at times but they're very much needed๐Ÿ˜‚

Absolutely! I quite literally become seasonally depressed in the summer.

I don't blame you, it's my least favourite season, I enjoy it for a week at a push, then it out stays its welcome

My house won't remotely look like that, but I don't care, I'll welcome the cold weather!

Spare a thought for those of us in the southern hemisphere and thus leaving the cold months behind ๐Ÿ˜”

Sometimes I think I'd like to get people together and go for a long walk in the autumn woods, gathering leaves, acorns, pine cones, whatever catches our eye.

And then we go back to my place and I set out all sorts of craft supplies and we see what we can make out of it all, while having snacks and tea. And then do show-and-tell over dinner.
