What's your favorite thing about Spring?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

Tell us what your favorite part of spring is...

Mine is watching the flowers come alive, and the trees get their leaves. It's happening so fast. And there are new baby calves everywhere. It's so fun to watch them playing in the fields. And all the happy birds are back. I love spring. And the butt ass cold is gone. Thank God. Edit: I forgot about wearing flip flops everyday!

2. The return of warm weather

I wish I lived somewhere where it didn't get cold in the winter.

[Mistress Quickly]

7. Bluebonnets!

All wildflowers, really. :-)

[VelmaD]

23. Separated at birth!

I completely agree. There's nothing prettier in the whole wide world than a hillside covered in bluebonnets and buttercups. :)

...is that sooner or later, she'll have to keep it." -- Mark Twain

9. The trees get to look pink as you drive around.

It is the buds and for some reason I like to see that as with that and the sugar pails up you know Spring is on the way.

10. watching my fruit trees bloom

and wondering how many would survive the winds we have around here. Almonds, nectarines, grapes, peaches, apricots, pomegranets and figs. Swoon

14. OPEN WINDOWS

Sleeping with the windows open... driving with the windows down... opening the windows when we get home from work... staying home all weekend with all the windows open.

Yep. Definitely open windows.

The birds are wonderful, the peepers are fun, the whippoorwill, when she sings, moves me to tears, the flowers are magnificent, the green is ridiculously welcome . . . .

but I have to say open windows are my favorite thing about spring.

[northzax]

28. you should come to my apartment

the heat is so oppressive, the windows stay open year round!

15. The first warm day of the year in NYC...

I always need a neck brace by the time I get to the office, but the injury is well worth it! :evilgrin:

[AlienGirl]

16. The flowers and the new leaves

And all the corny spring jokes, like putting plastic Slinkies around...

17. The Days Getting Longer

I like seeing the days get longer, starting in January, becoming noticeable in February, and really becoming longer with spring. I also look forward to going on Daylight Saving Time and it being light later in the evening.

Also here in San Diego spring is the one time of the year we have colorful flowers and green grassy hillsides, particularly if we had good rain during the winter.

[VOX]

29. Definitely -- the longer days are very cool!

I sort of feel human again as they get long enough for me to drive home from work without turning on the headlights!

:toast:

[blindpig]

18. critters!

the frogs are calling, the lizards are crawling, the turtles & snakes can't be far behind. 'bout time for the snakestick, camera & cooler! Hope springs anew.

[grannylib]

19. watching th e progress of the stuff in my garden, and planning camping

trips

[adriennel]

21. getting my hands dirty

in the garden, of course! I've been planning since last fall. First in: three new lilacs.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

22. Lilacs are my favorite....

My grandmother had a big lilac bush in her front yard, and every time I smell them, I think of her.

24. the rain...

i love the rain, its rained on my birthday every year for the last 10 years (give or take a year here or there) so somehow ive linked some sort of satisfaciton to rain... that and i just like watching storms, its a bit weird i know.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

26. Nothing weird about it...

It's actually a pasttime here in oklahoma, where the storms can get violent. It's calming watching it rain. Not weird at all.

[LastKnight]

27. ive found a peacefulness to it.... oddly...

not voilent storms, just rain though. the storms i like to watch, but i just seem to like the dreary mild rain especially if it goes on all day.

30. Let the rain kiss you

Let the rain beat upon your head
with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

The rain makes still pools
on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools
in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song
on our roof at night

And I love the rain

==Langston Hughes "April Rain Song"

nuff said.

[northzax]

31. the fact that in only seven short months...

it'll be ski season!

that and the legs.

[gyopsy]

32. It gets too hot!

Down here in Florida anyway. It's nice during our winters (50s and 60s) and it curbs back up into the 80s during our springs.

[sonias]

33. Redbud trees blooming

Wildflowers and green grass, warm weather and mild temperatures, spring rocks. Right now here in Austin, the Redbud trees are in bloom as are the Texas Mountain Laurels. Most of the Redbud trees are pink or a fuchsia color and the Mountain Laurels are purple blooms. It's friggin beautiful.

I love spring. Takes your breath away.
