- I’ve got tan-lines. Oh yeah. Well, I did yesterday, anyway…
- My clothes are on the line. Yep, those “unsightly,” “dirty, unsanitary” laundries are being “stored” on the balcony again.
- My thighs hurt. Because that crazy hubby of mine talked me into running yesterday.
- We had our first brats of the season this weekend. (Brats = bratwurst, not those trampy dolls with too much make-up and not enough clothing.)
- I’ve sworn off socks til October. The birks are back, baby.
What makes spring official for you?
Crocuses.
Also, when the wind blows and it doesn’t feel cold. That happened for the first time yesterday.
I’m wearing capris & sandals today. That means it’s spring. And all the yardwork I did this weekend.
My daffodils tell me its spring. This year however I won’t see them untill June. We in Maine are still buried under what seems like 20 feet of snow. So for now I guess the sun actually feeling warm again and my driveway being wet from the 20 feet of snow SLOWLY melting.
I’ve used the Vespa scooter for the first time this year. Recaro might use it all year round – but I’m a fair weather kinda gal.
I’ll let you know when it’s stops snowing here! 🙁
it’s been spring for months here. we’ve already had the grass mowed, and it needs it again. We had flowers in February.
but what makes it officially spring in my book, is when it’s warm enough to open the windows and let that nice smelling air inside!!
Spring has been here forever too, I have my roses in full bloom, the flowers all out,the hummingbirds back and my shorts are in full use.
It is summer I am not too anxious for, that means no going outside as it will be too hot! It gets into the low 90’s now on some days, 80 something most days, then it will be worse. I could keep spring forever!
Still having to wear socks with my birks here (much to my husbands chagrin!) 😉
I love bulbs, but so do the neighborhood deer. So, I guess spring for me is when I see my snapdragons and petunias that re-seeded themselves from last fall start growing again! 🙂
All my sweaters are put away. 🙂 I’m not quite at sandals all the time yet, but I’m pretty close. It’s also nice to be able to count on warm days to go hiking or for walks! Of course the past two weekends have been rainy and yucky, but I am trying to be positive about next weekend!
Have you thought of using indoor drying racks instead to avoid the whole argument with the landlord? I LOVE my IKEA Frost indoor racks. They were cheap and hold a ton of laundry. 🙂
You’ve probably already thought of that, but just thought I’d share. The wooden ones are rickety and fall apart, and they also get kind of rotten from the damp. The IKEA ones are metal and sooo nice.
Somehow, the air tells me it’s spring. At Easter, it was still so cold and the air wasn’t saying spring yet. That was disappointing as I usually think of Easter as the beginning of spring. Then yesterday I stepped outdoors and smelled it: sunshine, grass, flowers, and fresh water. It somehow perks me up immediately.
However, everyone in my acquaintence suddenly becomes obsessed about their weight (in anticipation of swimsuits in summer) and starts “eating healthy” and exercising. Ugh, talk about ruining spring! Go for a walk, get outside more, yes. But watch what I eat? Oh no! Not with all the lushous fruits coming back and the farmer’s markets starting soon. No, no, time to break out of the hot meals rut and try some indulgence in spring foods. THAT says spring to me.
