Yes. But it's called Spring cleaning for a reason.

I despise it, it sucks

long ass transition, that's all

It's pretty fucking good, alright? June is my favorite time of year and, like, 2/3's of that shit happens in the spring, so I gotta go with the numbers.

I love spring, that and fall are my favorite seasons but that was funny.

Miserable sinus headaches, bronchitis, and scratchy ears, eyes, and throat....

Spring can fuck off!!

Spring is balmy and gorgeous, but honestly? I usually find I'm hit with a depression around this time. To boot, the inconvenience of a snowy winter and the discomfort of summer heat really irritate me the older I get. I'm only truly happy in the autumn.

How pathetic am I?

Spring and Fall are my most favorite seasons ever. Not too hot, not too cold. Perfectly in between. Spring is when you hear those birds chirping early in the morning. The sound of neighbors lawnmowers running while they are cutting the grass also gets me excited. But I'm a Fall baby so I love Fall the best.

Spring is gorgeous flower wise!!

Weather wise, I hate it! I hate 50-60 degree weather... still to cold...

I am into botany, so awakenings always excites me in the plant kingdom.

Now as far as allergies go... I f@$%^##@!!!!!! hate spring with a passion. You can keep it!

Now ask me about Fall, I LOVEEEEEEE the fall. Its my favorite time of year hands down.

BTW, I need to air out a personal gripe. The fruit trees always bloom early spring, around my birthday yearly.... the first week of May.

BUT THIS YEAR, its been so warm the trees were in full bloom last week, covering my city in white blooms, its really a spectacular sight to see all the pear, apple, cherry, forcynthia and viburnum doing their thing....

but not on my birthday... I was robbed this year!!! ROBBED!!!! @$%@!!!!%$%$!!!!

Awww

It´s aight. Can´t stand the rain, the pollen, the allergies....but at least it´s no longer cold. I HATE WINTER! I HATE SNOW! I HATE HATE HATE COLD WEATHER!

But I love summertime...summer makes me horny, energetic, happy, industrious, makes me look good, feel good, eat less, I just love love love summertime. Especially when it´s hot and humid. Also love dry and sunny. And watermelons!

Girls look hot in the summertime. Hot chicks everywhere. Sex is in the air. I usually don´t like alcohol very much but I drink lots of rum in the summertime. And raki. And white wine. Ahhhhh, I love summertime.

Spring is aight but it´s a bit like decaf coffee with Splenda and soymilk compared to a good, strong cup of real coffee with sugar and cream.

I LOVE SUMMER!

Can´t get enough of it.

Absolutely love that time of the year.

I don´t trust folks who don´t like summer.

Summer is the sexy season.

i also luv the snow crocus

Its name comes from the time of year in which it blooms, very early spring. Sometimes, it blooms so early that its brightly-colored blossoms poke through the snow left from winter.

the area i'm from the snow crocus also grew in the color orange. imo so cute/pretty.

I've been doing mine today . We have a recording session at the house tomorrow so I figured why not now instead of later. When people walk in I want them to be bowled over by the scent of Mr. Clean.

The city where I live is BIG on public gardens and general efforts at beautifying the city with varied plant life. This time of year is still a bit gloomy and rainy (and not warm at all, we still struggle to get out of the 40's), but the entire city, even on the urnan street corners are chock full of hyacinths, tulips, dafodills, cherry blossom and some species of dogwood trees. I love it.

Love it. Not too cold or too hot, and the flowers. The downside is the pollen

Our Spring caame too early with high 80s temps last month and now its been below freezing 3 times time week, and Michigan may lose much of its apple and sweet cherry crops. That sucks big time.

Spring is the best - longer days and perfect weather.

I don't mind winter long as there's no snow. This past winter was one of the warmest ever in NYC.

I hate it. I like cold, snowy or rainy days
