Have you ever heard of the saying coming out of the woodwork? It's most often used to refer to a drove or mass group of something appearing rapidly. Historically, I believe it was meant to refer to insects swarming out of wooden structures.
Well this comic made me think of that. As you can see, enthusiasts of gardening, baseball and automobiles are appearing out of the ground where they bundled down during the winter.
Cute, huh?

Springing free like they've been in a long sleep? Probably see that for weeks to come.

It just popped right into my head as soon as I saw this comic.
I think I've heard that saying dozens of times in my life.

It seems like it. 
Here in the US many are ready for spring.

Yes, and it's already feeling spring like here. We will spring forward this weekend too.

@LindaOHio I really should be getting outside and walking again, so I should be happy about spring. I'm just upset because we didn't get any of that S word down here in NC.
