Which is your favourite month?

Has to be Month of May for me.... spring is on us and we are on the way to summer.Cold dark nights are over , I love spring flowers I was born in May. But unfortunately lost both my beloved mum and dad in the month of May.

Reminded I mean!

B Redhad I love your post and it has remaindeD me how much I love every month as I come to it1

I love whichever month I am on annual leave ?.

May - everything is lovely and fresh with new green leaves, blossom and the promise of summer even if summer turns out to be a damp let-down.

However, today is lovely with and the birds tweeting and singing

I have two March because days are longer and flowers are all around its been really nice weather last few days here which cheers everyone up , September is also a good month some lovely fresh but not too hot days plus it's the month I got married ???

Alima totally agree with you on the bit about bl--dy Christmas!! So, if I had a choice between November and January it would definitely be January although May is my favourite month with the promise of (hopefully!) summer!

My favourite month is whichever one is happening at the time! I'm just happy to be alive every day, couldn't bear to think at the end of any month that I would have to wait another 11 for the next one.

I love March, everything starts to waken up, days get longer and a bit warmer, and we see the sun more often, its a lovely time of the year, and besides that we always travel to the UK for few weeks in March, next week here we come!

I like every month except January and February. I really should holiday these months then my whole year would be perfect!

June and also September ....sorry everyone, but living first in Menorca and now in a holiday region of France, Christmas, Easter and July and August are a nightmare with holidaymakers caravans, camping cars, cars, boats on trailers, etc etc .......I used to go on holiday but try not to make a nuisance of myself !!!!

I guess I should live up a mountain ...but then you have ski iers and climbers et al .......at least October (mostly) November , January and February are quiet and we can get to go out in peace !!

Mine is also June, the garden is looking it's best, the pots of Summer plants are at their best too before the sometimes very hot, dry July. June isn't too humid and so nicer to be out and about looking after grandchildren four days a week. Roll on June!! But...... we are lucky with the weather today in Dorset, beautiful, playing in the garden and now grandchild is having her nap enjoying having the patio doors open while l have lunch in peace! Shhhhhhhh..........

Absolutely love May.... everything's growing. People are cheerful. And my blackbird starts singing in the evenings.

April ...

June- my birthday month. Lovely long evenings & if it is hot it is a promise of things to come. Plus we are usually heading off to Greece for a couple of weeks to soak up the sun & I LOVE the heat.
Far less hectic than the next 2 months when the GC are on holiday from school & take up residence!

Yes, Anya?

Sorry - couldn't resist.

May, probably - for the same reasons as all you others have cited.

And yet....for me, happiness is - a fine, mild day in February down here in south west Wales when I first see snowdrops in the hedgerows open to the sun and know the worst of the winter is over.

April, May, June and still lots of summer to come. Hate January and February - dreary wet and cold.

I love your evocation of the glories of each month, BRedhead and I also enjoy the seasons. The longer you live,the more each calendar month symbolises people you know and love. I used to dislike January( my birthday month) but now have two grandchildren born then so the month has a new charm. I still don't love November( yet).

However, March, as others have said, symbolises rebirth and anticipation, freshness, all that is to come...and greater light. It is the month at the very end of which DD1 was born. How glorious and energising this month is....so full of anticipation.

I like all months
Robins against snow in January
The first bulbs poking through in February
Drying the sheets outside in march
Blossom in April
Freshly cut lawns in May
Long evening walks in June
Holidays in July
Paddling pools in the garden for Grandchildren in August
Indian summers in September
Golden trees in October
Open fires in November
Christmas in December

Don't think i haves a favourite month - just don't much like February; it's SO dreary...

MAY for me. It's all starting to happen big time with nature. The trees are leafed and freshness everywhere. Also the days are very long in light. It's also an indicator that there's plenty more to come before the dreaded winter. Not long now. However one joy of March is the we eventually get our beloved hour back. Hallelujah!.

Probably May, so much blossom and everything so newly fresh and green.

I like certain things about every month, though, except January! So dreary, all the cheer of Christmas lights gone, still months of winter to get through.
But it usually goes pretty quickly and there are often some quite nice days even then.
One day in mid Jan locally there were a load of people sitting outside in the sun at lunchtime in the town centre, not unusual here. But then we are in relatively mild SW London.

How poetic these posts are. The seasons clearly mean a great deal to many people. It s very pleasing to think of the joy the various months will bring, especially as so many threads on Gransnet are not so happy.

I coldn't really name a favourite month as they all have their highlights. January and November are probably the most wearing to the spirits with their unrelenting cold, darkness, fog and drear.

I have two actually July my birthday month and October when my late son was born.october is such a beautiful golden month and have often been away on holidays in that month. My daughter said I am lucky to have a summer birthday. Well she was born in January
