    Any time of the year is great. October is a beautiful month. But so is the spring time when the hills are green and the poppies are blooming.

    Texas is gorgeous year round! Due to the heat when most people vacation, I would say come see us in April and October....and you may catch a cool breeze!

    I agree!! And even in to early winter isn't a bad time to visit. There's a lot of green out here in western Kansas in the winter with all of the wheat.

    Northern NY has something for all seasons. Fishing, boating, camping and swiming in the summer. Hunting, hiking, and leaf peeping (great quilt ideas from that) in the fall. Skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, skating, shovelling (NOT) in the winter. Long walks, spring breezes, and the occasional snow storm in the spring. Want to come visit? We would love to have you! And we are close to Canada to enjoy their attractions too!

    Dang, I miss NY now! I've lived both "upstate" and "down" and either way you can't beat the fall colors.

    Here in Southern AZ, "Summer" weather can last 'till the first week in November. Thanksgiving can be celebrated in shorts quite frequently, and sometimes the poor kids can barely wear costumes for Halloween! It's pretty sweet though from November to May.

    Minnesota is beautful any time of year. Most people don't like the snow of Winter or the heat/humidity of Summer, so I would say Spring or Fall. There is so much to do during any season in Minnesota! I love the change of seasons!

    The best months for western Wa is July and August. Warm but not hot. The rain has usually calmed down a bit. Just nice all around.
    Or come in the fall, winter, spring and really experience some rain :) My inlaws came for a long weekend in February and they were astounded by the amount of rain we got. It just rained and rained and rained. They loved it! They didn't believe us when we said it rained A LOT until they saw first hand!

    I'll let yuo know if & when we have nice weather.
    In the spring it's too windy.
    In the summer it's too hot and dry.
    In the fall it's still too hot.
    In the winter it's too cold, well, sometimes it isn't too cold, so maybe in the winter would be a good time.
