Walking my dog this morning, the air felt very warm and humid. Birds were chirping. I felt open to the world, not huddled up in my coat. Basically, it was a zippity-doo-da kind of dawn.

What makes you feel like Spring's arrived in Atlanta (or anywhere else?)

Mounds of yellow pollen coating everything in its way!

When the daffodils bloomed and the blossoms on some of the trees started to open, my Spring fever began.

When everyone starts breaking up I always know Spring is just around the corner....

Such a pretty time of year. ; )

When the smell of jizz fills the air. Ah, Spring in Atlanta.

The startup of my allergies-the itchy eyes and nose.  In fact, I'm popping an Allegra right now!

I noticed that my taste of music changes when it's starts to get warm outside.  I suppose because it feels like my winter depression is over, I replace the radio normal music (which I hate) with something more light and airy like moe. or Dave.  That's how I know spring has sprung.

Pollen, or plant semen drifting on the breeze, or green kingdom bukkake, seems to be an overarching theme here. C'mon, people, get your minds out of the gutter. Reach a little further.

Jasen,

Nope. All about the jizz. So WHICH trees smell like that again?

When my laundry pile goes from tons of jeans to tank tops and my dry cleaning bill (I'm too lazy to iron my sundresses) goes out the roof.

When everyone starts to look more attractive. And no, don't make that dirty. It's just that when the sun is shining through your hair or you're outside more, you just look... better. Eyes brighter, skin flushed, I don't know. Everyone is attractive in springtime.

When I find myself driving down Peachtree Battle for no apparent reason. God, I love that street come springtime.

When my puppy jealousy goes totally out the roof because everyone is out and about with their four legged friends.

When the sunroof doesn't ever close (also, when I stop caring about how my hair looks because I like to drive with the windows down).

When I start seriously considering trading in my car for a convertible/try to come up with reasons to steal my mom's.

When I don't have to motivate myself to go outside for a walk, I just do.

When I quit wearing face makeup/bronzer/blush because my skin is a little bit more naturally flushed.

When I pull out the big rubbermaid container under my bed full of flip flops.

When I start reinvesting in professional pedicures instead of doing them myself.

When Piedmont Park starts looking like Woodstock with all the young people frolicking on blankets with dogs and beer.

When the windows are constantly open at Blake's and the drag queen show can be seen just by hanging out on the sidewalk.

When bar & restaurant patios around town have an hour wait time but you can sit inside immediately.

Ivan, you're thinking about the thrice-cursed Bradford Pear. In floresence, it smells like jizz. Gretl HATES the smell of Bradford Pears more than she HATES the taste of cilantro.

Kathleen, the attractiveness of people does rise in spring. And it does have to do with a wardrobe change, I think. When people start showing more flesh out of doors, it's striking. Last year, I felt that spring-has-arrived moment when I saw two women out joggin' in sports bra tops. Since they weren't bundled up, I could see their back-dimples (little dimples on the lower back, just so we're clear, y'all.) Not to get too cheesy in this awful objectification, but the showiness struck me as flowers breaking bud.
Scott's right about relationships being strained during early summer.
