I must be an odd duck too! I couldn't live where the weather never changed. I love Oklahoma for that reason.... we never have anything for very long.... if you don't like it..... wait a little bit and it will be differnt. 
Today was BEAUTIFUL!!!
My husband and I drove down to the Witchita Wildlife Refuge.... the oaks and the rocks of the Quartz Mtn Range were beautiful. We saw Elk, Buffalo and White tailed deer right at sunset. The purple, crimson, and yellow in the sunset was fantastic. The grasses have so many colors.... purples and reds, deep browns,.... hard to explain but too pretty. Wish you all could have seen it.

Ack. That means ME. I like change. I love the changing seasons: the
first hints of autumn color with cooler nights; the first dusting of
snow; daffodils peeking out, willows beginning to leaf; mature greens in
the trees; and, all the plants and flowers that grow and flower in
different seasons. Guess I am an odd duck.

I'm with you, Pam. Not only can't stand the winters, but get impatient
with those who say they enjoy the changing seasons. Lord love a duck.

stand the short winters in Texas, let alone the northern ordeal.
Must have

have to
fight the hibernation reflex.

That's fascinating, Barb! It's about the same way here.
I will look forward to more light in the afternoon by the
end of the year. I don't mind dark mornings so much.
I am an early riser, but like to make a slow start with a
cup of tea, book or crossword puzzle, cat in my lap,
etc. for the first half-hour or so. Chet, on the other hand,
just hates to get up early. How I got him off to the
commuter train to the city for 30-odd years, I'll never
know. Now I try to stay in bed for an extra half-hour
just not to disturb him, but I still need to get up by
6:00 or soon after if my day is going to work out right.

At least we can tell ourselves If winter comes...

Folks, I don't know if I actually have SAD but sure dislike the dark
afternoons in winter, and the shorter days. I discovered a curious
factoid
a few years ago. The time of sunsets and sunrises is not symmetrical
around
the solstice/our clock system. For instance, at my latitude, the
sun sets
earliest in the period Dec 5 - Dec 10. After that the sun sets
later and
by
Christmas I can usually see the difference. The sun continues to
rise
later
thru the first 2 weeks of January, when the mornings also start
getting
longer. Knowing the facts about the afternoon inexplicably raises my
spirits somewhat!

I also have a countdown set up on my computer of how many days till
we go
back on daylight savings time. !!
