I am so ready for spring, bring on the lawn mowers, people walking, pool parties!!!

I'd like to live in a paradise where the temperature fluctuates between 60 and 80 degrees, it lightly rains 1-2 times per week, the grass never grows over 3" high, shrubs don't need trimming, and it snows on Thanksgiving & Christmas just enough to cover the grass & trees but leaves nothing on the roads & sidewalks.

Don't mind spring.  Don't like the season that comes after it.  Not a fan of summer.  I'd like fall weather 12 months a year.

I like spring, if we actually have one,  before it quickly turns into summer heat and humidity.  I live in coastal New Jersey and summers can get terribly humid here.  Never had allergies to the outdoors, but as I got older it seems like I'm allergic to pollen, cut grass, etc.  So, along with the humidity, the a/c is pretty much going all the time.   

I prefer fall months when it nice in the day and cool at night.

So looking forward to warmer temps, I hate the cold. Running in the heat is tough, but I prefer that to the cold anyday.

Besides the heat and humidity which I am never comfortable in,  the noise level elevates in my neighborhood when the weather warms up.  The worst noise, the deafening sound of lawn mowers.  The people in my neighborhood do not have large pieces of property but those lawn mowers are always out early in the morning to late afternoon.  Why isn't something done to make these machines less noisy!  All the technology we have and yet certain things are ignored.  My sister visited for a month and couldn't believe how often the lawn mowers were out and the noise level.  I don't begrudge the workers, they are trying to make a living.  But these lawn companies  do nothing to alleviate the noise of their archaic machines.  Yes, it costs money but it would be well worth the task for our health and well being. Wishful thinking on my part.

@spiderw I woke up to a lawn mower on Saturday morning.  Not necessary.  The grass isn't even growing yet.

I love spring.  Mother Nature is in her glory with all the green and flowers.  Ah, warm sunny weather.

I love summer too.  We get high humidity, but it sure beats the cold.  I go boating and swimming almost everyday.

Fall is beautiful, but never lasts long enough before old man winter blows in.

My neighbor has a bed full of yellow daffodils that I can see from my window.  They make me happy to see them.

Out with the cold and in with the heat. YEAH!!

Yeah, the idiot men in my community in Tx. Never, ever, rains, if you want any kind of green out front your house you use a sprinkler system.

These men when the first blades of grass peek thru the ground they whip out the ol' John Deere and get to work. LOL Cracks me up. What are they mowing ?

So dumb and waste of gas.

Spring? Where I live (a vast, overpaved, somewhat treeless SW desert metropolis), Spring is the foyer to an endless inferno. Yes, what we have at this time of year is "pleasant," but I understand that it's simply a reminder of pain deferred

I’m unhappy over 70*.
