Favorite Season??

What is your favorite season?

With their only being 2 weeks left of summer and everyone is breaking out their pumpkin spice EVERYTHING. It brings up the question: What is your favorite season??


Here is how I feel about the seasons we have in Iowa! Enjoy!



Spring is amazing. You are finally over the shit cold weather and can start planting flowers, the grass is growing, and you can send your damn kids outside without them looking like the kid off of a Christmas Story!


Now if you are in Iowa mother nature is bipolar and can't make up her damn mind about spring.... but, no matter what you will still put on those flip flops and brave the snow one day and warm weather the next! Yes, in the spring in Iowa flip flops are worn even if there is snow! Once your body has been in -20++++ degrees weather for 3-4 months anything above freezing is a heat wave!!!




Summer in Iowa is great! One day you will have the windows open with that nice cool breeze moving through your house. Then the next 2 months you will have all windows and curtains shut with the air on. See in Iowa we have humidity. Allot of humidity! Sit outside for 30 min and be sweating like you just ran a marathon! On the other hand, you can get into the pool, get a tan, and enjoy those long summer days that the sun doesn't set until 8-9pm! We do allot of camping and just try and be outside (yes even with the heat & humidity) because we all know that in a few short months we will all be hermits again trying to stay warm!


We can't forget about all of town festivals & county/state fair!! Here is one of the events we had a couple years ago! Mud Mania! The kids were just caked in mud.... but they had a blast!

Now let's talk about fall! I think this is the most beautiful time in Iowa. The nights are nice and cool, the days are still warm. Friday night lights has started, and you can sit out back with your friends and have bonfires while wearing sweatshirts and shorts because you are not ready to give up the shorts yet! You can start decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving. The house smells like cinnamon or pumpkin and it's a cozy time!

Winter....I have nothing nice to say about it except: Christmas lights, baking cookies, family. That is all! Other than those amazing things.... this is how everyone looks! We are now looking like the kid on a Christmas Story again.... for the next 4 months!
