Favorite Thing: Boston has very defined Seasons, and all are great to experience.
Winter is cold and sometimes harsh. To live and work in the snow and cold is brutal. in December the sun goes down at about 4 pm, and that makes for some depressed people (millions of them) However, play time in the winter can be great fun. That first snowfall is a sight to see, snow covered pines, blankets of white snow.
Spring: ok, The winter is long, by the end of March things begin to warm a bit and you think Spring is here, you begin to relax a bit. Trust me, Winter is not over. Just when you begin to cheer up, one last freak storm comes to town. But then one day you wake up, all the snow is melted and trees and flowers have begun to bloom (literally overnight) The fresh smell in the air brings happiness to everyone. (think I'm kidding? look at the ear to ear grins on everyones faces) That first day you roll down the windows on the way home from work is a beautiful thing.
Summer: It's quick, perhaps 3 months, but it is truly magical. Weekend beach trips, warm (usually not HOT) days, cool nights, sleeping with the windows open. Summer is a great treat. You will notice anything indoors sees a dramatic drop in business during these months as we Bostonians want to enjoy every moment of Summer.
Fall: New England in the Fall! There is nothing like it. Sure, we know Winter is not far off, but Fall has so many speacial treats. That first crisp day where you walk outside in the morning and feel a chill. The foliage, which changes daily (you can drive down the same street you drove down yesterday and the colors will be completely different) the smell of burning leaves...Fall is magnifigant.
Fondest Memory: The first day of each season
