I've now experienced each season here twice. I thought it seemed liked a good time to reflect on how I feel about them.
Fall
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the cooling from the hot summers, the crisp air, the leaves, and lots of apples. I enjoy that I can take my dogs out for a run without them getting heat stroke. The dogs love that I can take them places in the truck with me.
Winter
Sucks. I've found nothing worth while. I live in a Valley and have a constant 30 mph wind (sometimes MUCH higher). It's cold, its dark, and the trees look dead.
Spring
In Seattle I never really noticed spring. Here I spend 2 months watching the trees bud. It's my first sign that the end of winter is in sight. I "will" the leaves to come, and enjoy a bit of thawing warmth. Of course we have the Cherry Blossoms, but I find the unraveling of green leaves just as exciting. We often have babies born around farm life as well. Spring bring lost of yard work/Farm work, and I really kinda like it.
Summer
The summer's are hot. They can be quite miserable, but I have found things to appreciate.
Food grown in the hot sun has much more flavor, then the crap we get in the Pacific Northwest. I love to pick a warm tomato off of the vine in my yard. I enjoy the warm nights, to sit out and watch the sun set.

I think winter sucks everywhere.
The winters in Baghdad are great, very similar to the ones in Phoenix and Tucson Arizona. It's the rest of the year that sucks! Anyone want to trade the weather, and living conditions for the winter back home? I guess there's Afghanistan, where the weather is as bad as winter at home, summer in Baghdad, without the cool crispness and flora/fauna of spring and fall.
