Ny neighbor sleeps with his leaf blower. we're convinced. Never leavese home without it. If it's not bolted down, he'll blow it. Definitely a freako.

Mold. My basement starts

Mold. My basement starts smelly damp and moldy. Not a good opening to spring. But it usually dries out fast.

Birds start congregating on

- submitted by lana on 03/12/2007

Birds start congregating on all our yards, like swarms. That's when I know. It's starting, I see. You look out at lawns and see them covered by birds. It's a little bit creepy. But I can't wait for the warmer weather . . . northern MA has had enough cold.

My wife starts harassing me

- submitted by Radner on 03/12/2007

My wife starts harassing me about cleaning up the yard, that's when I know it's spring. She started yesterday, talking about the branches on the back lawn. She didn't ask me explicitly. She just started talking about how great it would be to have things cleared away.

So, next weekend will be our official start of spring.

I asked my husband to clean

I asked my husband to clean up the yard too. He said he'd do it next weekend. I said, sure sthat's good, and I'll wait till i go to the supermarket again until next weekend too.

I know it's spring when I

I know it's spring when I hear the birds outisde my window at 6am. That's when I turn on our room ac, no matter what the temp outside, and blast those birds onto somebody else's window sill.

It's also spring when my hubby starts talking about running in the morning. He'll do that for a week or 2, then stop talking. He'll never run and, by summer, will talk about how it's too hot now to run, he'll do it in the fall.

Does it sound like i'd like him to run? Yes. He could stand to lose a few pounds or 25

I love spring. For me, it's the first berries on my honeystuckle. More than temperature or melting snow, this is my measure. Bring it on!

We get phone calls from all

- submitted by gail on 03/13/2007

We get phone calls from all our local garden stores telling us about discounts on seed and fertilizer. We got it last weekend, so I guess spring started then.

Of course, it's really not spring until I see our first dandilion.
