They’re all lovely in their own way, but the time has come to choose the best.

Spring is when everything gets green again, summer is the warmest and most vacation-friendly, autumn has the prettiest leaves, and winter is the best time to drink hot cocoa and curl up by the fire. Your answer is likely to depend on where you live, of course — Los Angeles is nice all year, whereas New England has the best leaf peeping — as well as where you’d like to live. The grass is always greener on the other side, especially when it’s covered in gorgeous autumn leaves.
