Today’s daily blog prompt asked, “What is your favourite weather?” But I’m going to take it a step further and pair it with my favourite season—because for me, the two are very much connected.
I’ve always been someone who struggles with extreme heat. Due to my health, hot weather can cause me to feel dizzy or even pass out. So summer is definitely not my favourite. I don’t mind warmth—but only if it’s paired with a lovely light breeze. That’s why spring tops my list.
There’s something so comforting about the mild temperatures, the soft sunlight, and the blossoms beginning to bloom. The whole world feels like it’s slowly waking up. I find it soothing—and now that Amelia is a toddler, I get to see it through her eyes, too. She’s learning and discovering so much, and spring gives us the perfect setting to explore together. From spotting bees on flowers to watching the trees bloom, it’s just magical.
But I must admit, autumn (or fall, depending where you’re from) gives spring a run for its money. There’s something about the crisp air, cooler temperatures, and those rich golden colours that blanket the trees that fills me with joy. Autumn feels like a warm hug and a soft exhale after a busy summer.
Just the other day, we had a beautifully mild day—10 degrees Celsius—so we grabbed the opportunity to go to the park. It was such a joy to let Amelia run around, feel the breeze on our faces, and just be. These are the days I treasure the most. When the weather is like this, it’s so much easier to get outside, stretch our legs, and take in the beauty of nature.
These moments have become even more meaningful to me as a parent. Watching my child grow up surrounded by the beauty of changing seasons is such a gift. It’s a reminder to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the little things—like a walk in the park on a breezy spring day or collecting crunchy leaves in autumn.
What’s your favourite weather or season? I’d love to hear about it in the comments.
