Hi Neighbor!
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and I cannot imagine living anywhere else. The simple reason? The change of seasons.
I enjoy how we roll from one season to the next, how the smell in the air and the colors around us change, sometimes literally overnight. If pressed for a favorite of the four seasons, I would have to firmly state summer as my answer. For me, it conjures up favorite childhood memories - and favorite memories with my own children. A season full of hope and endless possibilities for outings, day trips, and backyard fun.
