I was talking with my parents the other day, about the signs of spring. Seems like everyone has their own sign as to how you know spring is here or just around the corner.

The age old one is the presence of the first robin.

For me, living in Maine...we get sooo much snow, that when I can start to see the dead grass on the sides of the road...I know spring is near. We are used to 6-10ft banks lining the roads, sometimes more. So seeing the snow melted enough that the dead grass starts sticking out on the edges a bit, is a big thing for me.

So what is it for you? What do you look for as your sign spring is here?

daffodils, dammed birdies keeping me awake, not feeling cold all the dratted time, that kind of thign

The Tuna start biting out on the far side of "The Peak" (a well known reef near where I live)

But that doesn't happen for 6 months or so

Its Autumn here, and I love this time of year!

In Belgium, except some rare days in summer, you can't make any difference between the season, it's always cold and/or raining
The snow can be seen in november as much as in april some years...

.... and the rain.... every days can be a rainy day.

On that one, welcome to my land !

When it's -15C and snow on the ground but your face still starts getting tan by the sunlight.
Also willow catkins, although this year the things showed up in January, thanks to global wamring.

I know its spring when the bear comes out of his cave, yawns deeply, and scratches's his back against the tree outside my door... er wait.. thats me....

I live for Autumn! It's my favorite season. I love the smell of the leaves and the harvest in this area Dork, I know.

For me its that fresh spring smell that comes on at the end of winter. And the loud birds coming back. hehe

I have to go with the birds waking me up around 5 every morning. And ants on the attack, popping up everywhere you don't want them to in your home (or any other building, public or otherwise, for that matter).

The big sign for me that it's spring... Is when I notice on the calendar it says "First day of Spring"

umm, for me it's when it gets above 70. This year was like last year, some very cold days with a majority of warm/chilly days. I'll know when it's spring when it hits 80 degrees.

well here im sure theres not a difference in the weather lol. Raining dreary and boring except in spring theres dafodils and its a bit greener. And then theres summer where its sunny for a bit then rains for the most part lol.

When I get to drive home with some light left...

I start sneezing because of all the damn pollen in the air.
