What does spring fever do to you?? What are your symptoms?

Spring fever puts me in the most awesome mood!! I want to do anything OUTSIDE!! I love this feeling!! What a GREAT time of year! I know many of you are not there yet but here in Florida, it is beautiful and this gives you something to look forward to!

What is Spring Fever like for you?

It means allergies to me. With such a mild winter, the season has already started.

It has started - full force. I feel like...well, you know!

I usually trim about 2 dozen shrubs in my yard. Air the house out. See the dust that has settled on everything, it seems like! And tune up the lawnmower. Along with everyone else. LOL But I have to be ready, I'm sandwiched between two nuts - husbands on both sides of us cut their grass 2 and 3 times a week. One will come home from a family vacation and fire his up, mere minutes later. He doesn't even help carry in the luggage! Sigh, I wish I were next door to more normal families - not quite like the Malcolm in the Middle Family but families less obsessed with weed free/short grass, golf course looking lawns!

So that's my plan. You can see why I love Winter now - I love hibernating and putting off all this Spring Fever madness!

Since it never really gets cold here, I never get spring fever any more.

It's like we have two seasons: Fall/Spring and Summer.

Besides hay fever...

I look forward to the milder temps and SVR weather season!!

Lakeshore days are what I am looking forward to!
gentle warm breezes.
Nice long long days and late sunsets (8pm by start of April and 9pm by end of May) Realllly spending time outdoors! (instead of running around trying to get back inside).

ahhh spring! soon soon soon.

I love it. Warmth, sun, and 60-70° temps. Can't beat it.

Makes me feel like doing a jig.

This is absoultly my favirote time of year. Can't wait to sip drinks on the beach or poolside soaking up the rays. Getting the vegtable garden going as of now. Also time to light up the grill at least 3 times a week, and eat at the outside table, take bike rides, and do some fishing. Daylight savings time is the best, and almost here!

allergies, the beach, more allergies, and of course spring break

I can't wait for spring to open up the house & hang all of the pillows/comforters outside on the line to air out! Unfortunately, that won't be for at least a month (or two? hope not!) up here.

LOL at your neighbors - I have one on the south side of me that mows all of the time; however, she isn't at all critical of my lawn-care habits, thank goodness; if I don't mow soon enough to suit her, she mows it for me <g>. The neighbor's kids are in college, while mine are younger and still require some watching, so she helps out when/if needed. Thank goodness!!

Does cleaning your car out and washing it count? If it does I have Spring Fever. Oh and the feeling of going down to the Gulf and put my toes in the water. Yes, I have Spring Fever.

Symptoms - I need to be outside, can't focus on work, want to break out the shorts and sandals.

The extended forecast has us at 70 degrees by Saturday! YESSSSS!!!!

I can't wait till Spring - that first Saturday morning when I wake up early, open all my windows, brew some tea and take it out on the porch, breath in the wonderful smell of spring, listen to the birds and get busy in my gardens. I love planting flowers and digging and puttering. Stephanie, we're supposed to have 60° temps on Friday and Saturday. That sounds terrific.

Can you tell I have a little bit of cabin fever??

we're rebuilding our deck, replacing the front of the house, cleaning the driveway, planting flowers, watching the birds, sitting in the treehouse and just feeling glorious!

we've been opening the doors and windows for about a week now and the house is spotless. i LOVE spring!

we're also replacing the sliding glass door and kitchen window with andersen windows tomorrow.

and Girl Scout cookies! A sure sign that spring is around the corner!

Definitely! symptoms? -- I just won a bid on E Bay for some Ecco Golf Shoes

We're very much alike with the sitting outside on a weekend morning with tea (or in this case, coffee), with the fresh air, birds, things blooming - AHHHHHH!!

I have a ton of leaves that I need to get out of my backyard - perhaps I'll get started on that this weekend.

Coming into the "offical" season of Spring, I honestly don't know what the fever is.........with spring to SUMMER like conditions ALL winter (nothing) long, it's going to be just another season of blah

Normally, I can't WAIT to work in the yard etc........this year, I'm SICK of yard work ALREADY, I've been watering, planting etc since MID FEBRUARY!
