I LOVE fall- that is hands down my favorite season. Spring and summer are okay too. It gets too hot for me sometimes, though. I like playing in the snow, but I have to be in the mood for it. I agree, this year has flown by. As for local wild life, we have beavers, ducks, geese, bears, mountain lions, lynx, deer, raccoons, possums, snakes and probably more I can't think of lol. How about you? What animals do you have in your area?
