We just had our second day in a row with the temp reaching 70 degrees, and the first time getting up to 70 since October. I'm definitely feeling excitement for the return of warm weather, which for me means pulling out my '65 Mustang and cruising with the windows down and the radio up. :D

What spring activities do you look forward to enjoying each year?

I live in a college town and just walking around outside is great in this weather, I am just a generally happier person when it's warm out. Everyones out and about and I get too see all my friends around town, I can go to the local pool, skateboard, ride my bike, whatever it's just a great time of year!

That sounds wonderful! Spring *is* a wonderful time of year and cruising around with the windows down is a real treat. Here in Dallas, the season lasts about two to three weeks and then it is too hot again - have to put the windows up and turn the air conditioning on!

I'm still stuck in this snow stuff. Had snow yesterday, and two days ago. And March 31st we had about 5 inches. Was great. Still in the mid to upper 30's, and sometimes it reaches 45 (F) it feels great!

We have a 65 Mustang too ;) Red convertible!

bust out my Birkenstocks. This will be my first spring/ summer in the city. I think there is a street fair down the street every weekend but there is always something to do in Chicago. My gf lives near the free zoo so we go there a lot.

You live in the Chicagoland area Monty? I saw the area code to the phone # on the contact page in your website matches mine.

ahhh spring... the best time of the year. Well sort of... I love to fish in the spring/summer, but also love to hunt in the fall, and love to snowboard in the winter. If i had to choose a season/outdoor hobby to do all year around though it would be fishing and spring/summer. Nothing beats being on the river/lake, in peaceful serenity, catching a big bass. Until you get those pontoon, party animals buzzing around. Its times like those I wish I had my deer rifle on board (not literally). I would rather have a bad day of fishing than a good day at school

I ride my bike/workout in regular day to day intervals. The weather is perfect for it. Very pleasant
