I saw this fun tag over here and decided to do it :-)
In Spring my favorite things are the soft sunshine, fresh blue skies and friendly wind. I love shedding my winter coat and pulling out my flip-flops and short sleeves. I love seeing the trees start to bud, the grass brighten, and the daffodils pop up. I love opening the windows, hanging clothes on the line, and laughing at the scruffy appearance of my shedding, muddy horse. I love watching the farmers discing the fields, and watching a haze of green appear over the acres of farmland.
In Summer I love spending long days in the sun playing volleyball with my friends, roasting s'mores, and eating cold watermelon. I love going on lazy bareback rides through the fields, barefoot so I can rub my feet against the slick warm hide of my horse. I love stuffing my shoes in my closet and wearing sandals everywhere, and then laughing at the tan lines on my feet. I love ice-cold peach tea, watching my brothers chase butterflies, and taking pictures of them doing "boystuff". I like mowing with the lawn tractor, alone with my thoughts and the smell of the freshly cut grass. I love leaving my window open all night and falling asleep to the sound of the wind and the crickets. I love fireworks and going to the Symphony to celebrate Independence Day.
In Fall I love the cool, breezy days. I love the smell of woodsmoke, and watching the corn and soybeans turn golden. I love apple cider and historical re-enactments. I love the intense blue of the sky, and watching the trees don their fall colors. I love running my hand over my horse's thickening coat, and being able to gallop her without feeling guilty about making her work hard in the heat. I love working jigsaw puzzles with my dad and curling up under my down comforter at night.
In Winter I love waking up on the morning of my birthday and feeling as excited as a little kid, and watching snow come drifting down out of a fluffy grey sky. I love coming in from the barn and finding a cup of cappuccino waiting for me on the kitchen table. I love the hint of mystery that fills the air, secrets about Christmas abounding, and being the main person that my family brings things to, begging me to "hide this until Christmas- and don't tell anyone". I love watching packages gather under the Christmas tree, and watching the boys pick what ones they think belong to them. I love sitting on the couch with the tree aglow and the lights turned down, listening to Dad read the Christmas Story. I love rolling in the snow, making snow angles and snow forts, and attempting to make good sled paths down our hill. I love the silence of riding my horse when several inches of snow covers the ground, muting the sound of her hooves and giving me the sensation of flight. I love the icicles, and observing how the light hits them in such a way that they glint and glimmer. I love curling up with a good book while a good ol' snowstorm blows, knowing that my family and I are all safe and sound inside. I love...waiting for spring to come again.

I loved your description of your favorite things of Fall! I didn't even think of the smell of woodsmoke, but I definitely agree!
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!
