I can't wait for spring, the last 3 days have been warm and sunny and makes me yearn for spring. I will start working in my flower gardens, mowing lawns, landscaping, cooking out, having garage sales, cleaning the house from top to bottom and getting the pool ready to swim. I LOVE spring so much I can't wait. I know for some of you it may already be spring like weather or it may be so far off you can't even think about it. But what will you do when Spring begins?

Ohhh I am just waiting for Spring to arive. We are still haveing cold and running the heating occasionaly. I have a long list of activities waht I want to do when Spring arrives. First of all I want to go to walk regularly. I like to go for a wlak in the evening. This is the only excersice what I do, and that is also I can't do for this cold. I want to arrange some picnic party with my family and friends. I am missing it for a long time. And I would love to go for boating in lake. Many other activities are there what I want to do in Spring.

Yes I forgot to mention the walks, this is also the only thing I do for exercise other than gardening.

I'll hide. I can't handle much sun and with skin cancer so prevalent in my family, I can only go outside with lots of sunblock and hats and long sleeved shirts on. I love the activities you mentioned but by midsummer the temperature will be over 100 degrees on a daily basis. Gardening in potted plants indoors, swimming after sundown, day trips to the mountains are some of the ways I've learned to cope.

Yes the heat will be bad when summer arrives, that is why I LOVE Spring and Fall so much.

I know, it's been so much like spring here, that I can't think of anything but planting the gardens, going for hikes, and enjoying the wonderful evenings sitting on my back deck. My sister and I can't wait for the yard sales to start, we've been making lists of things we want all winter! I've already got spring peepers here! I can't believe they're here already! I can't wait, either!

What I look forward to the most is shutting off the heating system. It dries my skin out too much. I look forward to seeing the wild flowers that are in our area. The winters keep me just a little more indoor than I like so I can't wait.

It's already warm here but I really can't wait for summer and real heat:) I hate cold weather and even spring is not hot enough for me, still it's good to see temperatures rising in the last few days :) worm weather means going out at night and staying late, long walks in the city, etc.

The first thing Ill be out doing is going for a bike ride because I have been pretty much stuck inside all winter. Then it will be spring cleaning of the entire house, weeding and priming the flower beds, sand and paint the car, camping and dirt bike riding and much more. I love spring and summer and thank god its just around the corner because this winter thing sucks!lol

Astronomical Spring occurs on the March 20 at 7:07 P.M. EST this year or 6:07 your time. It will definitely feel like Spring to you by that late in March.. I would just have a good time

When spring arrives, I'm going outside!! Going on walks with the kiddos, going to the park, playing in the yard! Anything, but staying inside all day! I love spring so much because it gives hope just when you think that winter will surely never end! I love spring almost as much as summer!

I cannot wait for spring! That's when our horses foal and I can finally get back into my garden. I can't wait. It is such a renewal of light and color and nature finally "speaking" again. Winter is sooo quite and desolate at times during the winter. Just darkness and quiet. Now I yearn for the spring.

I love the spring...It's nature's renewal and that's what it makes me feel like...I love to garden, get out and get my yard in shape, play with my grandkids outside...and go for great nature hikes...This spring I'm hoping to do some serious cleaning out of accumulated "junk"...and re-do a room from a storage room back into a bedroom...it should be a fun project..it's a great sunlit room and spring will be the perfect time to get it in shape!!!

I can't wait to take my son out to play! He loves being outdoors but it has been too cold to do that much. I would also like to do some gardening. I'm planning on some pretty flowers (maybe some tulips) this time round. Definitely cook-outs! I love having friends over for that. We also need to clean out the garage.

We will start raking our yard of debris and getting our flower beds ready for planting. We will start cleaning our swimming pool and getting it ready for summer swimming. I will wash the windows so that we can see out of them! We need to add some heating/cooling to a new room that my husband added on right before winter began...so he will be under the house running duct work!

Before it start, I will make sure I have changed all of the oils on the lawnmowers, gastrimmer, landtiller, and mulcher/thresher. Then clean up the vegetable gardens and flower garden too. My sisters would be very glad if we do things like that earlier with my brothers.

The first thing I do is to take off my thick winter clothes and go outside to taste the tender cold of spring.. Spring is the first season of a year, so everything is new. Spring is a season we can say goodbye to the past sorrows and pains, spring is a season we can make new plans for our life. As to me, spring is a new start, I like spring very much

Well it is not spring here and even when the calendar says spring, it still will not be spring here. We are getting snow showers right now. I hate winter. I hate the cold and snow. I can not wait for spring. As soon as it feels like spring outside, I am out gettting the garden ready to plant. We always raise our own veggies.
