What is your favorite thing about spring?

The absence of snow!

oh gosh-everything! It's my favorite season. I guess the things I like most is that everything is beautiful and green and all the flowers are blooming-and also the weather...nice and warm but with a cool breeze so I don't burn up.

Nothing, really. The days get progressively longer and hotter and school gets progressively more frustrating.

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT SPRING IS THE FLOWERS THAT COME OUT AND KNOWING WARMER WEATHER IS AHEAD. THOUGH I DON'T LIKE HOT WEATHER. I LOVE SPRING AS THE TREES BEGIN TO BRING THEIR LEAVES OUT. IT IS LIKE A WHOLE NEW LIFE STARTING OVER AGAIN. THE DAYS ARE LONGER AND THEIR IS LOTS MORE SUNSHINE.

Everything seems fresh and new outdoors. I love watching the buds on trees start out like little spots against the sky then grow, seemingly overnight, into broad leaves. I also get a kick out of the change in weather. I doubt I could be happy for too long, living in a climate where there is no change of seasons.

I love the warmth and how the sunny weather energizes me after a long, dreary winter.

Knowing that summer is right around the corner and that the shitty winter cold weather is behind us.

Not being confined by the trappings of cold weather.

One favorite thing? Hmmmmm...definitely the warmer weather because that means all the other good things are about to follow!! :)

Lengthening days, more sunshine, flowering trees.

a change of scenery flowers and green grass and a park that actually has people in it

I don't know. Probably the rainstorms.

Everything! I live for spring, Chicago winters are horrible. Just smelling the spring air, watching the grass turn green, and seeing the buds forming on the trees gives my mood a huge lift. Being able to step outside without two layers and a winter coat on is a beautiful thing. Dusting the stroller off and taking Ethan out for the first walk of the year is great too. What DON'T I like about spring?

Trees in bloom and warmer temperatures.

Spring is the only season when all birds sing. Oh, a few sing in the other seasons but very few.

I'm from Southern California, but I just spent my first winter in the Northeastern U.S. Weather in California is usually pretty nice, so I mostly take it for granted. I loved experiencing snow and winter for the first time this year, and my favorite part about spring is that nobody takes it for granted. Everyone sits outside to enjoy the sun because they know it won't last forever.

Spring means that it's almost summer, which means that school will be over soon. Except that, for me, school will be over for good in June:P

I like that the flowers are in bloom and it is a longer/warmer day and hopefully sunny.

I actually think it depends on where you are applying at. Some places, it's acceptable not to dress up and that doesn't affect your interview. Others, it's not.

I hate spring: It reeks of heinosity.

the idea of rebirth is a beautiful thing. . .

Freakin' sunshine! If I'm lucky...I gotta get out of Oregon.
