Love: Watching the daffodils bloom in February.
Hate: Watching all the daffodils die because we had another freeze.
Love: The first green leaves on the trees.
Hate: The smell of Bradford Pears in bloom. Dead fish smell = disgusting.
Love: Putting on open-toed shoes for the first time in months.
Hate: My ashy, pasty skin.
Love: Seeing flowers everywhere.
Hate: Not being able to open my eyes in the mornings because my allergies are so bad.
Love: The smell of a clean spring rain.
Hate: Tornadoes.
What do you love/hate about spring?
I hate that in spring, Pittsburgh is 80* one day ans 35* the next. And allergies. And the awakening of bugs.
ReplyDeleteI love that the days are longer, playing sidewalk chalk with my kids, and the opening of sooo many seasonal farmer's markets.
I love that we finally get warm temperatures! But then we get buckets of rain (COLD rain><).
ReplyDeleteI love that the mud is rich and earthy and dark! But then I step in it and it slurps up my shoe...
I love that we finally get a bit of rain! But then my rain boots decide to split in half because they haven't been used in a year.
I love that the strawberries, grapes, and other fruits are in season! But then I go on fruit overload and never want to see another banana, kiwi, grapefruit or ANYTHING HEALTHY EVER AGAIN.
I cant wait for summer ;)
Amy, I forgot about the bugs. Spring/summer in Alabama means the arrival of mosquitos, wasps, and the big outside roaches. YUCK!! I love taking walks in the evenings, but I get eaten up with bug bites. :(
ReplyDeleteReese, I can't wait for summer and all the yummy fruits and vegetables either!
