We wanted to know: "For some, it’s budding trees or an urge to clean the house. For others, it’s baseball players training for the season ahead. What’s your sure sign that spring has sprung?" For a chance to answer our latest question, see the bottom of this list. But, first, take time out to smell the flowers that bloom in the spring. Advertisement I know spring has sprung when I am out on my road bike training and I swallow my first bug of the season! — EGP Red-wing blackbirds, hummingbirds and goldfinches. — Jim H., White City I must say that I know that spring has sprung because I begin to feel much more amorous — a heightened sense and awareness of the opposite sex and a strange urge to run naked in the woods. — M. N., Shady Cove The weather is a sure thing. I also think, we tend to feel better when the sun is out and it’s warm. This is my thought on this matter of "SPRING" ... I just love it. — Norma, White City All the neighbors in our neighborhood are out catching up on yard work and what we have all been doing this winter. — V.S.M., Central Point My sure sign that spring had sprung, was my sweet little hummingbird that arrived right on time, Saturday, March 20th! — Joyce H., Rogue River When we spring ahead, and the night get longer. The grass starts growing, and the flowers pop out of the earth. You can smell it in the air. That’s when it’s spring. — Laura, White City Losing again in the NCAA basketball pool. — Joey B., Medford All the pollen! — JD, Medford Ice Cream! The sound of the music from the ice cream truck going through the neighborhoods. — Carla V., Medford During spring there is a uncontrolled magnetic pull of my car to the Ashland Greenhouse. It’s like a huge community reunion at the Greenhouse nursery! — Patti B., Ashland The return of the buzzards, bluebirds, tree swallows and an occasional housefly. That’s when we know that Spring has sprung. — Donnell J., Gold Hill For me, spring is lilacs and wisteria, right after the daffodils are beginning to droop. The beautiful purple and lavenders can’t be beat. — Alice K., Central Point This week’s question They’re everywhere you look. On television, in the newspapers, on the radio. But let’s for a moment say that YOU had control over the 2004 presidential election. While you ponder that, take a moment to answer this question: "If you could hear President Bush and Senator Kerry debate on a single issue, what would it be?" Please keep responses to a manageable length and, as always, include your name and hometown.
