What's your favorite SPRING THING?

I Love the warm sunny days. I love to go for long walks with my 8 year old daughter and my 7 year old neice. They have fun going for walks.

My favorite thing is to be able to get out in the warm sunny weather and take drives. I hate being cooped up all the time, or having to go out when the weather is bad.

In ireland its the mire act that winter is over and SPRING begins!! The weather totaly changes and along comes the little lambs and they are like little fluff balls runinng around the mountains!! LOVE IT!

Awwwwwwww, that's so precious! Sheila

I look forward to my son's baseball season starting. Watching his practices gives me a great opportunity to lay in the grass and read outside!

Ty and I love this time where its not too cold nor hot and we can get out and walk as much as possible. Also lost the flowers blooming, smell, etc. Though we have major allergies…we don't let them get us don't over it. Thanks for the question. Sheila

I love to get out in the yard and clean it up, i aloso love seeing the flowers come out again and the trees getting their leaves. Spring is my favortie time of year. :-)

Mine too-would be to start the garden.I have some new bulbs I bought and want to plant more roses .I can't wait.

sounds great, and flowers are such mood builders…

just noticed you live in Arkansas… I was born in Arkansas. The saying is you can take the girl out of Arkansas but you can't take Arkansas out of the girl… soooo true… lol

Spring… hmmmm in Wisconsin that could be tomorrow or in a month LOL I'm looking forward to my crocus coming up first and then tulips and daffodils. Should be in a few more weeks. Then I'm going to CA to visit my son in April, I've never seen spring in Northern CA so that will be a treat. By the time I come home, the flowers should in bloom and time for me to start my gardening prep for the summer. I'm going to get myself a bike this year and start pedaling myself to the farmers market on Saturdays with a backpack to bring home my treasures. I might have to rethink that when the summer produce is bountiful because I won't be able to carry it all… LOL But that's my favorite thing to do in summer.

Consider getting a bike trailer… I have one and love it. It is amazing what all goes into it… even my dog on occasion…I'll have to take pictures this year and share them on site… lol There is a company here in Oregon by the name of BikeFriday. You can contact them and they will ship you anything bike… their trailers are awesome…I can give you their address if you are interested.

Glad to know you are a Farmers Market/backpack gal too. Use it or lose it I say… I lost it last June when I fell off and fractured my back… lucky me it was just an interruption though! I'll be more careful this year for sure, but I'm not giving up until I don't have a choice…

thank you for joining this discussion… later… J

My son and friends refer to me as the 'old hippy'… LOL In a loving sort of way of course.. :) I've been this way all my life and can't imagine being any different now. My oldest son lives in Northern CA almost to Oregon and he's an 'old hippy' like myself.. LOL

not a bad title, lol I did a freelance position for a company in Texas many years ago in my 'younger days', and I took my bike and back pack along with me for the six months I was there… There was no safety available for riding bikes on the streets, and once when I was out, I got blasted with oranges ( they were nice oranges and I gathered them up to take home) being throw out of a school bus windows by high school students yelling, not such nice phrases at me… When I crossed the Oregon boarder after completing that assignment, I literally stopped my car, got out and kissed the ground… lol I was young… ha ha I did make friends with my coworkers while I was in Texas and some of the gals have wrote to me to say they bought bikes, stopped wearing high heels every where and even sport a back pack on occasion… hah, imagine that… cross fertilization of behaviors and ideas…

Normally I would say my favorite spring thing is calving season begins full force and I love to watch the little guys out jumping and playing, however, we have a freak blizzard going on today! Yesterday it was 72 degrees and nice, today, not so much. 24 and snowing, calling for up to 40 inches in some area's, the problem is we have 60mph winds right now so there is no way to know just how much snow we actually have on the ground but its coming down so hard and blowing so fast we have some 5ft drifts already and its only been snowing for 3 hrs.

We have had to go rescue 3 calves so far from the storm and there will be more to go find later. I enjoy bottle feeding calves every now and then but times like these its just so difficult.

I still love calving season and spring going hand in hand and probably always will, I just wish THIS SPRING would come back!

I traveled through your state during the winter several years ago… I was caught in a blizzard and oh geez that was scary… I can't imagine having to go out in it to search and rescue. You must have amazing skills. Hope you are all holed up nice and warm and that the sun finds you again soon… It's still pretty cold here in Oregon too, but the trees are showing bosoms and our temps are steadily getting warmer… thanks for commenting… later… J

My faves are getting out in the greenery for jogging and bicycling — and just wearing less clothes ;)

I hope wearing less doesn't mean "streaking" LOL

Oh my gosh, I just heard about this storm getting worse, as far as thawing and rivers. Are you going to be ok. It sounds like you are in that area, if you are I wish you well. I know that they are packing sandbags and such for thaw.

Worried about flooding. I think it is North Dakota, Terrible beging of spring.

My love is watching the flowers bloom and smelling the fresh air (unfortunately have allergies)
