OK, a quick Yorkshire Day question for Gentle Readers—which eighth of the year is your favorite? Let’s number them:\n

  1. Winter Solstice-Groundhog Day. Xmas and New Year’s. Snow, ice, sledding, that sort of thing.<\/li>
  2. Groundhog Day-Vernal Equinox. A miserable month of dreary, grey foulness, but followed by the first intimations of Spring!<\/li>
  3. Vernal Equinox-May Day. Opening Day, and Spring in all its glory, depending of course on where you live.<\/li>
  4. May Day-Midsummer. Verdant summer, the end of the school year, and the really long days.<\/li>
  5. Midsummer-Lammas. True-summer, with really long days, hot weather, grilling and no school. Also, mosquitoes.<\/li>
  6. Lammas-Autumnal Equinox. Dog days. The start of school. More mosquitoes.<\/li>
  7. Autumnal Equinox-Hallowe’en. The High Holidays (usually), and then Crisp Autumn days and the leaves turning.<\/li>
  8. Hallowe’en-Winter Solstice. Thanksgiving and the dying year. The Holiday Season, with lights and songs and such.<\/li><\/ol>\n

    Well, and of course this depends on location (Gentle Readers from the Southern Hemisphere are welcome to comment about how this looks from there) and climate and so on. I’d like a Top Three from each as is willing to comment; I suspect that there will be some very popular ones and some with no supporters, but perhaps I’m wrong.\n

    As for me, my favorite slice would be the third one, with seven placing close, and four to show. Love that Spring.\n
