It has almost been 6 weeks since Phil saw his shadow calling for a longer winter. With the last of the snow (hopefully) behind us, what are you most looking forward to for spring?

Watching the miracle of seeds opening and becoming plants and flowers!
I'm looking forward to enjoying walks in the sunshine before it gets too hot to do it much. I also enjoy gardening so I'm looking forward to watching my seeds sprout and grow. I have vegetables as well as flowers, so my garden is both functional as well as fashionable.
Spring just brings the best weather!
Finally being able to put the kids winter wear away... Looking forward to trips to Lowe's and the Home Depot to get some Petunias and Marigolds, let the planting begin... I can wait for my roses to bloom again. Here's a pic of last year's bloom...
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Meagan
Feeling the sunshine on my skin and going outside without a coat on! I already feel like a new person!
This winter has been brutal for anyone who has fibromyalgia, so I'm looking forward to not needing drugs to get through my day. And all of the above!
I look forward to even better weather for being active outside, Playing more golf, biking, boating, fishing etc.
HEAT!!! (free)
What I am looking forward to is the warm breezy days, waking up to and getting off while the sun is still up, spending time outside after all of the house (cabin) fever from the snow, allowing Izzy, my jack russell terrier, to enjoy the outside more than just her walks, allowing the house to air out before I shut it down for summer with the A/C, and most of all putting away the heavy artillery (coats, gloves, scarves, boots) until next year when I hope I will have no need for them!!!
Seasonal Effective Disorder afflicts millons of americans annually. Having longer daylight hours, feeling the sun on my face/skin, seeing new life beginning(trees and flowers blooming), dressing lighter and getting outside for a walk in the evening(shedding those winter pounds). It's all possible and has a positive affect on one's psyhe!!!! Debbie
There should be an all of the above option.
Not having to put layers of coats on my very small dogs before walking at 6am.
NO MORE SNOW!
