Spring is here!

out side today i had 86 F

Spring is definitely one of my favorite times of year, and this is the first time I'm getting to see spring in Virginia. This weekend, the weather was absolutely beautiful, and we spent it hanging out with the in-laws. We had a picnic next to the river on Saturday, then drove out to the coast on Sunday and introduced our new puppy to the beach. I couldn't ask for a better start to Spring! :)

Of course, now it's going to rain for the next two days, but at least I'm not getting all the snow like my family out in Arkansas and Oklahoma. :O

I try not to care about something that will have a natural cycle that I cannot control in any way.

But I did always like spring. :P

Hit 70 this weekend in CT. Was able to take the jeep out and cruise in the sunshine........Love it

I am always of mixed opinion personally. I sort of like cool weather. But I am looking forward to the newness that spring brings, also food in the spring is fresher and livelier. Plus it's Stanley Cup time.

I think If I had to narrow it down the only thing I hate about spring and summer are the bugs. I hate bugs, they scare the crap out of me and they ruin the nice weather because I am always looking over my shoulder for the next dive bombing huge demon bug to try and land on me. Grasshopers, cicadas, beetles, big moths, Spiders, Horse flies. And of course the annoyance of mosquitos, Bees, wasps, and ants. (Bad ants here every year in the summer))


But Despite it all I love to grill out and eat very fresh veggies and berries. Drink some nice summer cocktails and white wine in the sun. And experiment with new ways every year to repel bugs. Oh and get drunk and play with fireworks :salute:


EDIT: But my favorite thing about spring is the excuse to down my favorite cocktail.

Cold gin with a lime wedge and a barspoon of sugar.

Well... The cool thing about winter is the nice, blue and clear skies... I do hate cold though.

In the other hand, as soon as it warms up in Florida, WOOSSSSSSSSSHHH!!! here comes the rain!

Why cant we just have the best of both worlds?! :P

yeah with the coming of spring I can start to get aout and work some lol. (that being cutting about 4 yards of grass every day 4 days a week) but I look at it as exercise which I can really use lol..
