GEEEBEEEE!!!

What a gorgeous thread! Spring has indeed sprung...as of now! Yay.

Is the snow gone yet?

okay, to answer your questions.. what do I look forward to w/spring

-- working in yard, playing in dirt, cleaning up the flower beds.

-- spring flowers in yard.. all the yummy bulbs I plant come forth. Of course the harbinger here is forsythia.. and I have blazes of yellow all throughout yard & a long hedge of it along my "naughty" neighbor's yard.

-- The wide range of yellows/greens in the forest tree tops as the trees begin budding.. green is NOT JUST GREEN but a rendering of shades/textures to delight the eye

The forest floor exploding with dozens of my favorite wild flowers..

-- Walking with water shoes in the streams (yes I go when it is still cold) ... but NOT having to wear the heavy water boots is nice.

-- MUD.. slipping & sliding & having fun with the dogs in the mud.. that comes with the thaw & warm weather & I embrace it

-- Bike riding without freezing'

-- The first kayak outings.. the water is still very cool so I DONT want to tip, but often do

-- Babies.. lots of wild life has their young.. the great blue heron rookeries nearby, the raccoons that bring their young to feed at the cat dishes (guess we have replaced fishing at the stream for crawdads), baby fawns in yard with their moms.

The ONLY thing I do NOT like about spring is the pollen.. tears up my allergies/simus.. but it is part of package & so it is an "oh well" scenario

Beautiful, GeeBee! I'll be back later.... as soon as my back recovers from cleaning out old files and creating a working office space in my computer, guest room...to post some spring flowers. I am so glad it's spring!

I have a spray of Carolina yellow jasmine on my desk..The blossoms may promptly drop off but I sure am enjoying looking at them after a very tiring 4 days of cleaning out old paperwork..Now ...on to tending to the newer tomorrow...between freeping, of course.

Gorgeous, gorgeous intro, GeeBee.... I love every little thing about it!! Mmmmm.....

In Springtime, I look forward to romance! Love! Flirtation! Appreciation!

"O, how this spring of love resembleth
The uncertain glory of an April day;
Which now shows all the beauty of the sun,
And by and by a cloud takes all away."

Wonderful thread, (((((GeeBeee))))

I'm very happy you'll soon be experiencing some nice weather.: )

I'll be by later to put in my two cents as to why I like spring. Like you, I also love living where we have all four seasons.

Later, doll. Enjoy your day. : )

Thanks for the ping to this lovely thread. I love Spring! My new home has a "lawn" of brown dirt! We moved in when it was too cold to lay sod, so I'm hoping it will be warm enough soon to have some grass, and a couple trees and a few shrubs! And, then I'll plant some flowers!!! :D

Hi, GeeBee, I love all your spring colors and pictures! Yippeeee! It's been springlike here for several days, and the dandelions and other spring weeds are having a field day!
