Ann Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Springtime is almost here. Well, at least it feels that way in Florida. So.. tell us about some things you love about spring. Quote
dchurchi Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Spring is a time of new beginnings. Flowers bloom and leaves start growing again. The cycle of life starts all over again. Also the time changes and we have longer days to play outside!!! Quote
jorja Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I absolutely love that "spring smell." I love it when all the snow starts to melt and it also is a reminder that my birthday is coming. I love it when you can wear a light sweater without your winter jacket for the first time! Unfortunately, spring isn't here yet. We got a bit more snow yesterday and last night I am really anxious for Spring to arrive!!!!!! love, jorja Quote
lilyjohn Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 The wild flowers that grow in abundance where I live. The smell of newness and the clear crisp days and a sky so blue you can get lost in it. The promise of new beginnings. The feeling that no matter what God is in His place and all is right with the world. Right now all of those things remind me of home but they also make me wonder where do I fit in? Where do I really belong? They say home is where the heart is but like most of my life my heart is devided between the people I love and the place I belong. Spring is just a reminder that nothing lasts forever Quote
Ry Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Flowers and green grass. I love it when the weather starts to change and things started growing and getting green. I especially love getting the deck set up and planting once its safe from frost. It's in the 30's here so it sure doesn't feel like spring yet. Quote
dadstimeon Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Everything starts to bloom again. Days are warmer and longer. More active. Quote
michelepal Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Baseball season! I have 2 sons Gary who is 15 and Michael (after my Dad) who 10 who play, I enjoy watching them.. GO YANKEES!!!! Quote
J.C. Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Negative today, Spring is the season for no boots no gloves, hats, scarves no coats no shovelling no snow to clean from the car. So by the time you get out you are ready to enjoy the weather, flowers and fresh air. Love Jackie Jackie Quote
myrnalu Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I can open my windows and door and let the fresh air in.Love spring and fall Quote
Donna Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I love to hear the birds singing, look at the flowers blooming, and watch the Yankees playing. Donna Quote
Don Wood Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Well, first of all, it is Lucie's birthday, and each birthday is precious. We celebrated with the family on Monday and will celebrate with some special friends today. Secondly, the flowers in bloom -- azaleas, redbuds, etc. The green of the new grass and new leaves. And, as someone said, new beginnings. Don Quote

Geri Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 What really hails spring are my husbands watery eyes and stuffy nose which mean that the trees are about to leaf and all the spring flowers will soon burst forth. Just love that man's allergies........it's the end of winter!! Geri Quote
trishnmiller Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 School is almost over! Trish (did I forget to tell you that I teach high school?) Quote
RandyW Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Happy B'day to Lucie and all Debs Flowers are blooming and My grass is full of Dandelions and Weeds. Quote
Maryanne Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LUCIE... MANY, MANY, MANY MORE!! I love the first signs of spring, after the winter it is so invigoration, rejuvinating. Don't like the hay fever though. Love the sound for the birds, see Robins for the first time, flowers, bike riding, eating at out-door cafes, walking around Penns Landing and me and Joel sitting on our porch reading a book. I am sure there is more, these are just on the top of my head and of course barbacues. Maryanne Quote
Snowflake Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 I love spring - love the mud, love the birdsongs that have been missing for so long (already have robins and killdeer), love the sun on my face and the mud on my feet - and I'll be planting that dogwood for my friend Fay - and one for Addie, too. in just- in Just- spring when the world is mud- luscious the little lame balloonman whistles far and wee and eddieandbill come running from marbles and piracies and it's spring when the world is puddle-wonderful the queer old balloonman whistles far and wee and bettyandisbel come dancing from hop-scotch and jump-rope and it's spring and the goat-footed balloonMan whistles far and wee ee cummings Quote
ginnyde Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 What do I love about spring? Absolutely everything!!! What don't I love about spring? That it is only 3 months long. Spring is proof that life can survive no matter what the struggle, how can you not love that. Quote
lindseysmom Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Warm weather, and the flowers and trees blooming. Best Wishes, Dee Quote
Linda661 Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 As others have mentioned, I just love that "spring smell" in the air. Spring to me is so full of hope and new beginnings as nature wakes up from its winter sleep....a time for new growth on a new dream, dreamt in winter, lived heartily in summer, and celebrated for the abundance it brought in fall. What I most look forward to in spring is the return of the swallows around here. We get two kinds: the tree swallows (white tummies) and the barn swallows (rust-colored tummies). They nest like crazy around our house and barn and help keep the insect population under control around here (we have a seasonal pond on the property that would be a mosquito haven without the swallows). They are so graceful in flight and some of the most attentive and caring parents to all of those kids they raise during the summer! They should be starting to return any time now... Linda Quote
RandyW Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 I hope Debs 2 Huimmingbirds will return this year. Quote
shelliemacs Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Fresh Cut Grass margaritas out on the deck Quote
