Thanks Sarah :) I virtually reciprocate with bouquet of wild flowers, which are already growing in the hills 'round here.

Why is everyone obsessed with Spring?Well, why? Personally, even though Spring is wonderful, I hate it because it means the coming of the hot and horrible summer........

Well, it depends on where you liveIf you lived through a long, cold and rainy autumn, and then a long, colder and dark winter, you just love it when the light and the warmth returns. Imagine to get out before having to put on boots, warm coat, cap, scarf and mittens. But i know we will have some more snowfalls before April is over.And the summer is even lovelier, just enough of warmth and not especially humid.

...once again cheesing you out with Greece...Ah, nomatter how scortchy the summer becomes, everyone 'round here is at a one and and a half hour (max) drive from a beach. And there is nothing more refreshing than spending a hot day submerged in unpolluted waters:)

Learn to live in the moment, Ania. It's something we all can do instinctively as children but lose somewhere along the way.I hate summer too (brutal, hot, and humid here) but thankfully relish every day of Spring, my favorite season as well.

I'm a very outdoorsy person. I love Spring and Summer. No one is obsessed. I'm just ready for the cold to be over.

SarahThank you for the virtual flower. I wish I could reciprocate with a virtual exhibit of a G-scale train rolling through the Mitchell Park Conservatory Show Dome (not to mention a virtual tour of both the Desert Dome and the Tropical Rainforest Dome).
I, myself, am an either/or person. I enjoy both reading/writing and long walks on the shores of Lake Michigan. I only hate the comments made at the fact I prefer pre-1910 styles (except for shoes). Ah, well, vive la difference.Phyllis

You are the exact opposite I am. I'm not into out-door activities, I would rather be writing or composing. Plus, Autumn is my favourite season because it means the end of a very long, lazy, and humid summer!

It was a lover and his lass (a real spring song)It was a lover and his lass
Text by Shakespeare(go to this link to listen to the melody)
http://www.contemplator.com/tunebook/englmidi/lovrlass.htmIt was a lover and his lass
With a hey and a ho and a hey non-ni-no
With a hey non-ni non-ni-no
That o'er the green cornfield did pass
In spring time in spring time
In spring time, the only pretty ring time
When the birds do sing, Hey ding-a-ding-a ding
Hey ding-a ding-a-ding
Hey ding-ading-a-ding
Sweet lovers love the Spring .
Between the acres of the rye
With a hey and a ho and a hey non-ni-no
And a hey non-ni-no, non-ni-no
These pretty country folks would lie
In spring time in spring time
In spring time, the only pretty ring time
When the birds do sing, Hey ding-a-ding-a ding
Hey ding-a ding-a-ding
Hey ding-ading-a-ding
Sweet lovers love the Spring .And therefore take the present time
With a hey and a ho and a hey non-ni-no
And a hey non-ni-no, non-ni-no
For love is crowned with the prime
In spring time in spring time
In spring time, the only pretty ring time
When the birds do sing, Hey ding-a-ding-a ding
Hey ding-a ding-a-ding
Hey ding-ading-a-ding
Sweet lovers love the Spring .

This is a very sad verse from "Lock Lomond" that talks about Spring (a bit).........For the Wee Birdies Sing
And the wild flowers spring!
And in Sunshine the Waters are Sleepin'!
But the broken Heart it kens
Nae second SPRING again!
For the way-ful may cease fray their greeting'!(the chorus)
Oh .... Ye'll tak' the high road,
And I'll tak' the low-road,
And I'll be in Scotlan' a-for ye!
For me and my true love will never want again,
On the bonny, bonny banks of Lock Lomand!So .... in someways it proves my point. There is one true spring of one's life ....... but you can never re-create it again ...... and, for me, it has become a horrible thing.**** I hope that made sense, because whatever I write never seems to.

Loud and clear! Sounds like you will henceforth enjoy spring without the Loch Ness Monster, which may be good news. Chear up, a gal's gotta kiss several frogs before finding her prince.
Tintinophile PS: Wasnt Loch Lomond Snowy's favourite whisky?

I thought Snowy, like Tintin, was too young to drink. Unless that perve Cap'n Haddock corrupted him. :)-- Nanaea

Yes everyone loves spring, hence "spring fever". But for me since I live in minnesota, summer is a blessing. Means no more snow and having to drive an hour and a half to work because of the traffic due to the bad weather. No more getting up early to clean the snow off my car. Spring and summer is like a field trip that last a few months. DRiving with the windows down, feeling the spring air on my face. Summer may need the air conditioner but still tans, the beach. Not feeling like you have to wear everything in your closet to keep warm. I say GOODBYE winter, hello SUMMER !

I enjoyed summer too, when I lived in cooler climates (Lake Erie shore and Germany). If I lived in Minnesota, I'd feel exactly as you do.Down here in the South, summer is something to be endured, not enjoyed. NOBODY ever moved to this part of the country of their own free will before A/C.

LOL I dont know where you are from, but I have a aunt who lives in Texas. I used to visit her alot before I had kids. I also have a uncle who lives in Florida. I used to go there every other year with my mom before I got married. I liked going there for vaction but it was to hot to live. But then again, Minnesota is to cold... it is a lose lose situation. LOL
