I’ve lived almost this exact experience during winter after borrowing a telescope from a close relative.

I could make out the rings of Saturn from my backyard and it was a special type of magic, an unforgettable experience the first time it happened.

I bought myself my first scope this summer and have been watching both Saturn, juipter and now mars on occasion as they've precessed across the evening sky. Same feelings for me, it's magical to observe first hand with analogue optics and eyeball these planets :)
