Summer is too hot, winter is too cold, spring is full of allergines. I guess that leaves fall?

Copy/paste (and a small edit) from a previous comment of mine on another community:

Winter. By far. No bugs to fly in my face. No sweat to make me mad. No yard work. And everything seems much quieter. Oh, I can’t wait! The jackets and blankets hug me! I like to snuggle in but in the summer it’s impossible. Although, I love my veggie garden…

Shoveling is worse than cutting the grass?

I prefer shoveling snow (and snowblowing). Takes about half the time of my yard and is only about 10-12 times all winter in my area. My yard is usually every 4-6 days.

Well... I pay a neighbor to shovel my walk for me.

Sorry your majesty. I didn't realize I was talking to the queen of England!

The queen has risen and moved to the midwest?

See, we all knew she couldn't actually die.

Same, winter is best. I can always put more layers on to combat the cold. There’s limit to how much I can take off when it’s hot.
