My favourite season is here, Spring.  The weather is finally turning warmer; a coastal cool breeze, not too hot but not too cold - just how I like it.  I don't want to wear my heavy winter coat anymore, but it's not warm enough to get away without having to wear a coat, thus, the Poncho is a great alternative to your everyday coat.
