spring is here, spring is here, time for skittles, time for beer!

It's like somebody flipped a switch in the sky, and it's now seriously SPRING. It's warm out, and I'm wearing sandals and shorter skirts and no leggings! I'm seeing my students without coats for the first time in MONTHS. It feels hopeful, as if we might survive this long, hectic year.

I went to a crawfish boil today, a sure sign of spring in Louisiana. Good food, good people. I'm also looking forward to spending spring break with marathoner452 in Maryland in a couple of weeks. I'm planning on walking more, and eating more salads with spring greens.

I'll be also interested in hearing what everybody's favourite things about spring are, if y'all want to share!

I'm thrilled to see new leaves on plants in my yard that I feared the cold had killed entirely this winter. Not having to wear a jacket or coat is fabulous too. Yay, Spring!

Oh, that's wonderful about your plants! And, little gods, yes about not having to wear a coat - I can't believe I forgot about that one! My sister and I are planning to start a herb garden now that the weather's nicer. ^_^ Thanks for sharing!
