GTKY Tuesday

1. What is your favorite part of spring?

2. What is your least favorite part of spring?

3. What are you going to miss most about winter?

[186momx]

1. More daylight hours
2. Allergies...tree pollen is going crazy right now and then grass pollen goes bonkers and I suffer from both. Grass is 10X worse than tree and I just so happen to live in the grass seed capital of the world so I have runny nose from now till July.
3. I love not having to shave my legs on a regular basis during the winter and I miss that when it gets nice out and I have to go back to daily shavings.

1. Sometimes its milder weather. Here it only lasts from February-First part of April but it's so nice.
2. Pollen/Allergies. My car is yellow right now and my eyes are itchy.
3. My daughter has the cutest dinosaur jacket that she wears everywhere.

1. Flowers and trees in bloom.
2. More daylight hours. I would prefer it get dark at 7 year round, especially since we're an early to bed, early to rise family.
3. Warm, fuzzy, comfy sweaters are tied with sleeping comfortably bundled up in blankets. I hate sleeping when it's warm out.

Disclaimer: my winter is about the same as most of the country's spring.

1. Sunshine!

2. Allergies

3. I can't think of anything I'll miss about winter

1. Spring is not my favorite, I like not having to wear a jacket everyday.
2. I am with k3am, my kids go to bed between 630 and 730, and we wake-up at 6 so the time change really messes with me.
3. Reduced power bill. Cheaper to heat where I live vs. cool

Spring isn’t that great in SoCal. We usually get lots of overcast days - May gray and June gloom, and all the tourists start to show up for spring break.

I do like it staying light out later, and more flowers blooming.

Winter here is less crowded and usually super clear and sunny, so I’ll miss that.

1. More sunshine! I like the longer days, but that is probably from my years of playing softball.
2. Allergies. Mine seem to be getting worse as I get older.
3. Not being able to use the weather as an excuse to not go somewhere. Gym, meetings, whatever. I wanted to hibernate this winter and I did it as much as I could.

1. Flowers blooming, more outside walks, and softball season!
2. Allergies. Mine come in the form of blinding headaches now (vs the old way of itchy eyes and runny nose).
3. I love, love, love everything about Christmas. That, and I love one good blizzard a year. We didn’t get one this year.

You are all reminding me of one thing I don’t miss about where I grew up and lived on the east coast till I left 12 years ago - horrible oak pollen allergies. As a kid. I couldn’t go outside at recess for at least a month.

1. Beautiful weather. It was 80 today and I took off so we could take the kids to the zoo. It was perfect weather for it.
2. Flooding. My industry has facilities all over the western half of the country, and every year it floods somewhere in the Midwest. Last year, I didn’t take a weekend off for 3 months while we dealt with widespread flooding in Nebraska and Iowa and Oklahoma. Last year it was the Missouri River. This year it looks like it will be the Mississippi. Going to places and seeing the devastation is incredibly emotional. We help a lot of people, and that feels good, but the sheer loss is staggering.
3. The clothes. I love Uggs and jeans and sweaters. I hate shorts. Texas is too hot not to wear shorts or dresses during spring and summer.

1. Easter flowers, trees blooming, warmer weather, more sun, everything!

2. Allergies

3. Absolutely nothing.

[ilovelucyvv]

1. Warmer weather
2. Allergies
3. Christmas, my favorite holiday

[covergirl82]

1. More sunshine and warmer weather. Winters are so gray, cold, and usually snowy, so I love when we get warm weather, flowers, green grass and leaves, and sunshine!

2. Cold, rainy days where it's not raining hard enough to cancel sports, so players have to play in the cold and rain.

3. Not having to shave my legs every day.

[mrspez07]

1. The colored returns. Green grass, leaves, flowers and flowering trees.
2. Allergies if they kick up, otherwise the unpredictable weather.
3. Cozy sweaters. I struggle with my fall/spring wardrobe for work, not enough long-sleeve non-sweater tops.

Jumping in here because I've been a long-time lurker but very infrequent poster.

1. What is your favorite part of spring? I like to see everything blooming and I like that fruit and veggie prices go down.

2. What is your least favorite part of spring? You get so used to the weather warming up and then all of the sudden you have a cold week with rain.

3. What are you going to miss most about winter? I've got to buy new shoes for spring since I wore all mine out last year. I'll miss my boots.
