We were driving down the road and I smelled the odor of a skunk. I mentioned it to my wife and she said GOOD. When you smell skunk it means Spring is almost here.

I can tell when it's becoming spring, because the sun wakes me up earlier and earlier. I hate it. lmao

Technically, Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere) arrives on 2021-03-20 at 09:37 UT (01:37 PST).  Tempus Vernum!

I start wearing a wider variety of colours and not just black, red and yellow to get me through the winter.

In the days leading up to the Spring season, my NT sister and I slowly change our shirts
from long-sleeves to short-sleeves as a means of acknowledgement.

We already have quite a few spring birds in NYC.

Does anybody find the scent of a skunk to be "rotten spaghetti sauce"?

Mrs. Grey is proud today, because her flowers are in bloom.

When we were growing up, our dad often shouted at my me and my NT sister whenever we went on road trips as a family, "Smell that good clean country air!"

:cry:

Mr. Green is so serene, he's got a TV in every room.
