What's your favorite thing about spring?
I don't feel like you appreciate these types of things in FL, maybe because they are there year round, but I LOVING all the birds everywhere chirrping. It makes me super happy. And the trees blossuming? Delish.

Re: What's your favorite thing about spring?
Sunshine!
Baseball!
the smell of people's smokers (and grills)!
Flip flops!
Walking without a jacket on (corny, I know)
Seeing all of the spring crocuses and flowering trees blooming
Pulling out all my warm weather dresses
The spring sunshine and the smell of the soil after a quick rain... I grew up on one of the last wooded lots in Boston and that smell takes me back to being a kid!
Lilacs. The season lasts about 10 minutes, but I love the smell of them.
Jeans and t shirt weather - it's my absolute favorite weather.
Pulling on my flip flops for the first time.
The first day we hit 70 - people are just so happy that day, it's like a giant cloud has lifted off everyone, and there's just a collective good mood everywhere you go. Especially after a crappy winter like this one.
grilling
walking everywhere instead of relying on the T/bus
flowers
reading and/or drinking beers on my front porch
Putting away my winter boots
Opening the windows in the house
Watching for buds on the trees and flowers poking out of the ground
Baseball season
Not the rain, that's for sure. It's been a bad commuting week so far.
I love noticing all the things starting to bloom and--cheesy as it sounds--all the life that's coming back into the world around us.
The warmer weather and longer days.
Not needing a coat anymore.
It's funny you should say this because I felt the same way when I lived in CA. I grew up around here and noticed when living in S.F. that without the seasons time really seemed to just fly by. I wasn't expecting to miss the seasons but I really did, and you really do appreciate the little things more after going through a deep freeze! Like the no coat thing. I have friends who were originally from CT visiting with us a couple of summers ago. They've lived in S.F. for years now and while here one of them commented how she'd forgotten how nice it is not to need a coat on summer nights.
No more snow!
Grilling
Car shows!
The smell of a warm rain and fresh cut grass.
Being able to wear open toed shoes.
The feel of the sun when my skin is finally exposed and not covered by sweaters
Leaving for work when it is light out and returning home to a few more hours of sunshine.
the smell of mud (I know it sounds weird, but it means that things are thawing out!)
being able to air out the house... i feel like the air is so stale in the winter.
and fresh produce... oh how i've missed it!
...hello out there!
