Tell me, what are some typical signs of spring for you?
Well, the most obvious would be when the snow melts away. Other than that, I guess it is when things start to spire and grow. Though, according to the famous song, that doesn’t mean that spring has arrived. Another sure sign of spring to me is when the sun actually warms you up.
Do you get spring feelings when you see that flowers and stuff are starting to pop up?
A couple of days ago I was out walking and noticed this green area. It had a big patch of grass totally covered in flowers. It hit me then how much colour actually was in the spring. That never happens during any other period of the year.
Are you affected in any other way by the spring colours?
No, but I think many people do feel happier and such, but I don’t feel anything out of the ordinary.
So, no emotional response, how about a habitual one?
I wear less clothes as the warmth progresses and don’t feel as iffy about going outside. My crazy friends want me to join them on the beach just because the temperature has risen some. The sun being out longer makes me a bit more prone to stay up longer too.
