  60. Since I live in Atlanta, weather doesn't get insanely cold. What signifies spring, slightly more than the blooming, is the initial wave of disgusting yellow pollen from all of the tree sex. Blech.

    Also, it's that all too brief time before summer. In spring, it's balls hot during the day, but it does at least cool off a bit at night. Then that ends, and I melt all summer.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I don't like very much spring but I adore autumn and in the spring it rains like in the autumn so this is what I love: the spring when it rains.
    What it means I think is obvious: the renaissance of the nature :)
