Looking out my window from my apartment and besides the constant rain where I live I notice the sun bursting through the clouds, frogs croaking at night and the days warming up which made me realize Spring is right around the corner!
I was curious;
- What does Spring mean to you?
- Any Spring time rituals?
- What is Spring like where you live? (for me I just get warmer rain!)

I search the earth daily, for signs of life. I've found:
crocii
wild violets
cyclamen
daffodil buds
tulip leaves
primroses.
Also, I saw a p***y willow in full paw, today. The maples are all blushing with their early clumps of tiny flowers and the birds are all calling: nest! nest! Egg! Egg!
Spring is an affirmation of growth. It's my favorite season, and March is my favorite month - all that potential is just ready to burst forth!

I enjoy jogging once the weather permits me. I tried to a few weeks back then got utterly sick the next week. It snowed the day after I was running outside and I was shocked. It doesn't snow at the end of February in Vancouver! gonk

I got snowed on three times in one week, a couple weeks ago. I was so sick of it, I ended up skipping my track workout, that week. I couldn't take being cold and wet, anymore!

It means the sun comes out a little more. I heart sunshine.

I love your description of Spring, how beautiful. heart Aw! Have you recovered from your illness?
*hands over some noddle soup*
You don`t live very far from me and our little region has had some interesting winters before!
Me too! I am all about the sun. I love to surf (though it is never warm enough to do so) I wait through Spring for summer so I can sun-bath in moderate heat and just enjoy life in full bloom.

Thank, Magic!
Heh, I celebrated the first day of spring by running a half marathon. It was so awesome: sunniest, warmest day in months! What a treat.

Breyer I wish I could run a half marathon. I'm glad that you had a good time. smile Did you run alone or with a group? I was in a race, with 500 people, but I was alone for much of it, I'm that slow. smile Still, it was my second best of 6 halves. Why can't you run a half, Breyer?

I could walk a half, but I'd collapse if I tried to run more than a mile. It's been years since I did any serious running.

It seems like I never have time in the morning, but I know that exercise is important.

Breyer smile I keep telling myself to exercise more. It seems like I never have time in the morning, but I know that exercise is important. For me, I didn't for a long time. I got really fat. Suddenly, it was important. biggrin It turns out I like running more than anything. Who knew? biggrin
