1. Flowers--any and all kinds, but especially the daffodils.
2. Allegra--it makes the flowers bearable
3. New Life--watching the trees bud and leaf out; watching the grass turn green again; baby birds, rabbits, fawns, calves.
4. Football--Huh? Football in the spring? Sure. There's lots going on in the spring. Free agency, contract negotiations, the draft. I love it. Every bit of it.
5. Cold nights and warm days
6. Wearing shorts and going barefoot--well, I do that all year round, but when spring gets here, I don't get the strange looks.
7. Taking long walks--soon it will be too hot to walk anywhere without feeling like I'm going to melt.
8. Opening the windows--Yeah, I do that in the fall and winter, too, but there's just something different about spring. A freshness that isn't there any other time of year.
9. Falling in love--ok, ok, I haven't actually done that in a while, but there's just something about spring that seems to bring it out in me.
10. Easter--"Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, for he is risen!"
There you have it, my top ten list. I know some of you were sure I was going add to my list that our favorite quarterback's birthday is in the spring (April 21), but I didn't.
That doesn't mean I didn't think about it.

I was *really* surprised the Cowboys weren't on that list, but then I realized it's only for April. :-)
Well, for Spring anyway. If it were my top ten list for Fall, they would definitely be there, along with the start of football season.
I love opening the windows - day and night. When I was little, I can remember asking my mom "if it were time to go barefoot yet" as the weather got warmer.
EXCELLENT!!!
Lou, my mom wasn't too keen on us going barefoot, but we looked forward to the day when we could wear our shoes without socks! As I got older, though, I went barefoot anyway. I still do.
Robin, thanks.
