I am older than 18 and live in Tennessee in the US. My favorite springtime memory was May of 2002, and a trip with my spouse to Yellowstone. Some great hikes to some gorgeous waterfalls that I will never forget.
I’m over18 & live in south GA. My best spring memory is being able to gather fresh flowers to decorate my home & alters with. Last few years, I have pockets that I have a few flowers in that bloom almost year round.
I live in Maine, and am over the age of 18. My favorite spring time memory is flying kites. On of the neighborhoods I grew up in Had a large field across the street form my house. It was surrounded by houses on all sides. There were no power lines that we had to worry about of it was a safe place to fly kites, and play on in general.
Over 18 years old. Live in Lubbock, TX USA.
The most memorable spring was a close encounter of the nature kind. It was after sunset and I was out walking in the neighborhood and some people have vine flowering plants growing on thier fences. Sometimes honeysuckle. But the fence I was walking by had another flowering vine. Since it was dark, I had a head lamp flashlight to see better and what I saw brought me to halt. Of all critters I have seen in the wild, this one was a surprise. Hovering just inches from me was a gorgeous humming bird attracted by the blossoms. For a moment we both just paused, seeming to take in the surprise of running in to other and just like that the moment passed and the bird flew on.
For sure over 18, and I live in the US. My favorite thing or memory about Spring is seeing the new growth and budging plants knowing that motorcycle riding season is around the corner.
Over 18 and in the US.
My favorite memory of springtime is happening now. I live with my mom so she isn’t alone and we spend time planning where to plant flowers and plants. We have a blast picking out flowers and planting them. She’s the designer and I’m the muscle. LOL. It’s a great time all around.
Hi, I am over 18 years of age and live in the US. My favorite Spring memory occurs every Spring, specifically in the rain when I love to garden. Between the rain and the flowers , I soak it all in and feel energized and renewed from the Earth. I often forgo the garden gloves guiltily and end up with dirty hands but full of peace. Since childhood this has been a special ritual for me. My family and friends know if It’s raining I’m unavailable!

for right now, it’s this spring. On Easter I had my OEster miracle in that after 3 surgeries and an **extreme** infection, Easter Sunday was the first day since that last surgery that my incision didn’t pop open and release massive amounts of pus…
I’m from the US and well old enough to enter.
My best spring memory was watching my sister plant flowers out front of our house. It have step leading up front and she settled this black divider along the edge and put the soil down. Then she planted the seeds. We have gorgeous green and pink tall fern like plant and pretty orange, pink, and orange flower. Nothing like sitting on the porch swing and watching the bees buzzing around them.
I am in the US and I am definitely over 18. My favorite memory for the spring always has been Easter egg hunts. To see the kids searching and being so excited when they see and find the different eggs we’ve hidden. And now to be able to see my grandkids doing the same thing. Love that part!
My favorite spring memory was when my girls were young. We had just had a Big litter of 15 Golden Retriever puppies and I took my 3 girls and 3 other boys all to the park and let them all of the van at the same time! What a crazy afternoon that turned out to be…children chasing puppies and puppies chasing children. Needless to say when we all got home it was naps all around!
I am over 18 and live in the USA.
In the US, and definitely over 18 lol!
My favorite Spring memories actually have to do with Easter morning. Though I am thoroughly pagan now, I was raised in an awesome Episcopalian church – every Easter Sunday the church set out a small cross covered in chicken wire and the kids of the church covered it with various flowers. I loved getting all dressed up in my new dress – usually sewn by my grandmother – and going out into my grandfather’s garden to pick my flowers to take for the cross, almost always some gorgeous purple irises.
Of course, I was also usually diving into my Easter basket (and its candy) as soon as I was allowed to after breakfast lol so they were probably happy to let me run around outside for a few minutes by that point!
I’m over 18 I’m born and raised in the U.S.I currently live in Tennessee. My Favorite Spring Memory is from Years ago… When I was a child we use to spend spring break at my grandma’s and Grandads farm. We spent most of our time helping get the gardens weeded and ready and helping grandma spring clean. I Truly miss those days!!!
I’m over 18, and I live the United States. My favorite spring memory is planting with my granny when I was little. Now I plant with my kids, but I know she’s with us.
I’m over 18 and I’m in the US. My favorite spring memories are on my birthday. When I was a teenager every year on my birthday my grandma would pick me up from school and she would take me to a movie and our favorite local pizza place! She passed away when I was 20 but I always think of her on my birthday or when go to that pizza place. My husband was in the Military for 21 years then he retired recently and we moved back home. Last year was the first time in 11 years that I’ve been able to get pizza from that place on my birthday. Thank you for this opportunity
Hi! I’m over 18 and live in the US, Georgia. My best Spring memory is going Easter egg hunting with my cousins (who were practically my sisters) when we were kids. I don’t see my cousins anymore so those memories are super special to me.
I am over 18 in the USA. My best spring memory is going to the zoo with my friends and mother in law and family.

Spring for me has always been about bringing life and that is what happened full circle; flowers and blooms are just beautiful this time of year
Yes I’m way over 18, I’m in the USA, What I love about spring is the rebirth of all things ! The tress, and animals, and new flowers. Everything wakes up to start anew.
Yes, USA, FAVE Spring memory is celebrating Ostrava and Beltane with my friends!
I am over 18 and in the US. My best spring memory is my Grandpa helping me collect ladybugs, then letting them go so we could collect them again. I have always loved them, and Grandpa was so patient. He acted as if that were just the best thing in the world to spend time doing!
I live in the USA. and I am a lot older than 18
I grew up in Arizona and in the spring my family would go on picnics on the desert. The weather was pleasant and the wildflowers were blooming. We would cook hot dogs and have all the sides that go with them. Fun times except if we saw a snake!
Yes I am over 18 and live in the US…
My favorite memory from spring has always been planting season. Working with the ground and spending much needed family time… but the last spring I had planting with my Grandma had to have been the most special for me… I miss it so much but thank the goddess I have those memories to look back on. Now we plant special plants in her memory…
I’m well over 18 and live in the USA. I love Spring in general and while I don’t have a specific event to share, my favorite time is when the buds and leaves first appear on the trees and bushes to signify the beginning of a new season of growth.
I’m 43 living on the coast of Washington state. And I think my favorite Spring memory was an Easter egg hunt at my grandparents house with the neighbor’s cat that kept following us around wanting us to pet it. The cool thing is that we have it all on video and we’re probably about 4 or 5 in it. I got to watch it again recently because we had the old film transferred to dvd.
I am over 18 and live in the US. One of my favorite Spring Memories has to be taking walks in the evenings with my Mom and seeing all the plants bloom. My Mom used to pick a few Violets every year and send them in a Mother’s Day card to my Grandma.
I am well over 18, live in the Midwest USA. My favorite spring memory is puddle jumping and dancing in the rain with my kids before I become disabled.
I am definitely over 18 years old, live in the U.S. (in Florida now). My best memory of spring is when I was young and as a child you loved and appreciated all that nature offered, new flowers blooming, baby animals, the rains and splashing in puddles.
I’m definitely over 18 and live in the US. One of my greatest springtime memories is sitting up on the diamond mines in Herkimer, NY digging through the sand stone finding crystals whole my two boys break open bigger rocks. The weather up there is ever changing and the surrounding area is full of life woth flowers, animals and you’re so close to the clouds.
I am over 18 and live in the US. One of my favorite memories is sitting on my back porch early one morning and watching all the wildlife cross the field.
I am over 18 and live in the USA. I’d have to say, my best memories of Spring we’re when I experienced my first Spring here in Upstate Ny. I grew up in Florida, where there really isn’t much of a change in seasons. My first smell of lilac, was amazing, of Lily of the Valley, a joy. Seeing the trees budding, the light green, so beautiful. Spring is my favorite time of year.
Yes I am over 18 and I am in the US. One of my favorite Spring memories is riding with my grandmother either going or coming to/from her home and her saying “Look at those redbud trees they are just beautiful.” She would tell me this every Spring as we were riding by them.
I am very much older than 18 and I live in the US. One of my favorite Springtime memories is when I took my sons to Disney World for a week. We had so much fun. It was the best vacation ever!
I’m way over 18, 64 next month. I live in the Bay Area of California, just south of San Francisco in the small town of Colma which is the graveyard capita of the world. I actually live across from one of the bigger graveyards. My favorite spring memory is when I was in middle school, between 5th to 8th grade. My parents would take my sister & I to a place called Three Rivers, have no idea where it is now but that it’s in California. We would stay at a motel that also had 3 room cabins. We’d stay in the last one next to an adjacent property that had horses which would come up to the fence so we could feed them. I’d get up early in the morning with my mom to sit in the kitchen area while she had her coffee & we would watch the deer come into the field in back of the cabin. We would go to the restaurant across the street for breakfasts & watch their horses which you could also ride which we did once, that’s another story. My sister & I would get up early at least one of the days to go fly fishing with my dad. It was always a peaceful time.
I am over 18 (67). I am a US Citizen and I live in “Big Sky” Montana. I have lived in Virginia, California, Tennessee, Texas, Colorado, Montana, and Japan. My best spring memory is my last ‘Spring Break” in High School when my parents (who both had cancer) and my “little brother” were together. This was 1972–we took our RV to the beach in Texas. Sadly, they are all three deceased now. The last, my brother, we lost in Afghanistan in 2010. I was just diagnosed with cancer so am looking forward to having lots of books to read as I go thru treatment. Happy Spring!
I’ll be 43 on the 29th. I live in Troy, Indiana of USA. My favorite memory of Spring is the Spring that I was saved from my Biological Mother and put into Foster Care. It took a while, but I was eventually able to get comfortable and happy. I no longer had to watch for and anticipate mood changes and attacks. I no longer had to wear long sleeves and pants all year round. I had plenty of food to eat and was fed every meal which meant I no longer had to hoard food. I was even able to eventually stop my reflex of hitting or kicking (depending on which limb was closest) at who ever accidentally touched me. I was treated as much like one of the family as Foster Care Rules allowed. I was finally able to be a kid again. Although, it was a huge change brought on by an awful period of my life, it’s most definitely my most favorite memory of Spring.
Definitely over 18 (age 72) in the USA. Best Spring memory (but do not know age, but pre-teen) was having a full conversation with a bright red cardinal. He would chirp, I repeated it exactly. We did this back and forth for about a half hour…then he flew off.
I’m well over 18 and live in the US. My favorite memory of spring was my daughter taking me to the Portland Rose Gardens that were so beautiful in bloom and the smell was heavenly.
I am over 18, a US resident, by favorite spring memory is going to the botanical gardens every year to look at the flowers as a child. I guess that is why I love them and have flowers tattooed all over.

I have read all the wild hunt book reading the spinoff great books
At 74 I’m definitely over 18. LOL My favorite memory is back when my kids were little and actually listened to us. We’d get together with our friends and their kids at a park for the day and BBQ and enjoy the time with friends while watching all our kids interact with the kids who would all grow up to consider each other FAMILY…
Over 18. in the US.
Best memory is having picnics in the national parks with my girls and my husband.
I am over 18 and living in Indiana. My best spring memory would happen every year growing up, we have a creek down by us that we would pack up the tractor and wagon and dogs and drive down through the field and woods and set up for the day. Making a small fire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows and spending the day there with my parents and brother and when he got married and had children my niece and nephew. Us “kids” would always try to walk the creek even though it was early and freezing! Plus it was always around this time and the bluebells are beautiful down there and growing rampant. I even have some at my house now I brought back from there.
Hello. I am over 18 living in sunny Arizona. My mom’s birthday was the first day of Spring. She called it her very own present (funny because she was a twin!). She’s been gone for 20 years and I still think of it as her day.
I am over 18. US. Taking pictures in a field of bluebonnet.
Well over eighteen and living on the East Coast of Australia. My favorite spring memory was seeing my mother’s tulips grow and open up in our family garden. She tended to plant red and purple tulips among the cherry trees and she also had a lovely magnolia tree that we called her tulip tree.
Over 18 by a LOT! I live in the USA!! Each spring when my azalea bushes bloomed I would take pictures of my girls next to the bushes. When they bloom now, reminds me of when they were young.
My best spring memory is going to Hobbiton (New Zealand) with my husband.
I live in the USA and I’m 80 years old, so I’m way over 18.
My best spring memories are of my grandmother, her sister, and other people, leaving my aunt’s bar late at night with food in paper bags and bottles of pop, and heading to Lake Erie fishing. Spring is the time of Canadian soldiers flying in mass and crapies biting. We would leave on a Friday night and come home late Sunday afternoon. We took lawn chairs to sleep in and we used our cars as beds also. We would come home sunburnt and a cooler full of fish. Those were the best panfish ever. My aunt would have a fish fry just for us. Those were good times. My life was so full. Winters in downtown Dayton and Summers spent fishing, and at my great grandparents. Good food and lots of hugs and kisses. I still smile when I catch a fish, it brings back all the good things.
I’m definitely older than 18 and live in Canada. My favourite spring memory is when my daughter came home with 2 tiny abandoned kittens. We had to bottle feed them. They lived until they were 15 and 17. We adored those little sweeties.
I am definitely over 18 and live in the US.
My favorite spring memory is going to my Aunt and Uncle’s house to rise horses with my cousins. I used to ride this pony named Lulabelle and I rember o e day she got it in her head to jump a downed tree that even laying on it’s side came up to her chest. Well I just hung on and thank goodness she cleared it. Loved those days riding and enjoying nature.
I am definitely over 18!
Grew up in Huntington Beach, California, now live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
My favorite spring day; riding my bike to the library, feeling the breeze (it was always breezy by the ocean), but the best part, spending hours in the library!
I’m well over 18 and live in the USA. My favorite Spring memory is of a bunch of grown adults (my Coven) running around hunting Ostara eggs. We were hilarious and so competitive! Lots of laughs.
I am over 18 and live in the US. My favorite spring memory is watch my parents (both have now passed) get their golf clubs and shoes ready to go for the year. And sitting on their deck listening to them talk about their game and how they missed it over the winter.
Over 18 and now a NC resident. My favorite spring memories were the many years my Dad’s huge white rose bush bloomed outside my bedroom window. On nice days, my whole room would smell of roses. I still miss that bedroom
BTW, just finished the Moonshadow Bay series, can’t wait for more! Really enjoy your work.
I am over 18, and live in Puyallup, so yes, USA.
When I was 13, we moved here from California during March. My very first friend here had sheep. I had never seen animals like this before, and she would have me over, and I’d help her. With chores. The coolest thing ever, and my most memorable moment, was watching the ewe’s give birth. I’ve never forgotten it, or how I relate that to the Spring Season as the beginning of the season here.
I am still friends with her, 38 years later.
Thank you for your consideration.
I am older than 18, in the US, the best spring memory is when the snow FINALLY stops showing up. (Hopefully our little dusting last week was it for the season.)
I am much older than 18 years, and I live in the United States.
My bridal shower was held in the Spring. There were flowers on the tables and everyone was dressed in pretty pastels. There was so much love in the room and that is what makes it such a special memory!
I am over 18 (by quite a few years) and in the US!
My favorite memory of spring is seeing the peonies bloom each year. We have three plants in our yard that were my husbands grandmothers and they always make me smile when they bloom. The scent, the colors…..make me know spring is truly here!!
I am so far over 18 I don’t even want to think about it!!
I am an international reader, based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
My favourite spring memory is teaching my little brother and sister (I was 10, they were 6 and 2 respectively) how to make mothers day breakfast in bed (Mother’s day in the UK is in March.) I remember it so vividly because my mum was so pleased, even when she came down the stairs to discover that we had used every pot, pan, plate and item of cutlery to make the breakfast. I remember being scared because she was crying when we brought the tray in to her, but she assured me it was tears of joy. That memory has stayed on with me because even though the tea still had the T-bag in and the toast was more burnt than toasted, we had picked a few (all of her) daffodils from the garden she was still so touched we had done this for her,
I am over 18 and in the US.
My favorite spring memory is when I took a trip to Florida with my mom and best friend for spring break in 1989. I was 12 and that was the one and only time I’ve been to Florida and the only major spring break vacation I’ve ever done. (I’m now in my mid 40s). I got to see and swim in the ocean for the first time and I still remember the taste of fresh Florida citrus fruits. I could not believe how big the oranges and grapefruits were compared to the store-bought ones in Michigan.
I am over 18, I live in the US. My best spring memory…. sitting on a friend’s porch in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees and nature. Drinking tea and reading for hours.
I’m over 18. A US citizen. Fondest spring memory is spending time on the farm with my grandma! She was a beautiful soul!
Hello! I am most definitely over 18 and from Rhode Island. The smallest state. The best spring memory I have is when I had my son. He is my one and only spring baby!
I am over 18 and live in the USA. My favorite spring memory is my husband and I taking our German Shepherd Jackie and Min-Pin Choco to Skyline Drive in my convertible. Though still a little cold, we put the top down and just drove from view point to view point until we reached Big Meadow where we let the dogs run. A beautiful memory of two pets that have passed over the rainbow bridge.
Definitely over 18. Raised in Sunny Southern California. Love it here. Favorite spring memory: Is really every spring. We don’t get a lot of rain here but we do get some April showers and when they come, everything turns green in our valley (it’s generally dry and brown!) This time of year is great.
I am over 18. I live in the US. The best spring memory I have is spending spring in Spain. I was able to go on a school trip at the beginning of April. Everything was so beautiful. Also I was able to spend my 17 birthday there and see how another country spent Easter.
I’m over 18 and live in California.
One of my favorite spring memories was the first tilling of the garden. It usually happened a few days after a rainstorm and the newly tilled earth smelled like new life. Usually, a few weeks after this, we would have the first lambs of the season. Spring on our hobby farm on Whidbey Island was the best!
I am well over 18 and live in New York State. My favorite Spring memory is taking a trip across the state to visit my parents and dyeing Easter eggs with my son for the first time. He had so much fun mixing the colors and my mom loved seeing him have fun. My dad’s gone now almost three years so any time I remember he and my son together is a special memory.
I am over 18 and live in Washington State. My favorite spring memory was from my teenage years – one of my non-profit groups I’m part of would have a Hearts and Clovers Dance every year, between Valentines Day and St. Patrick’s Day. We always had so much fun.

My best Spring memory is with my boys on their first Easter.
I am over 18 . I live in the USA . My favorite Spring memory is : 3 years ago I had a little black kitten living under my shed. He was only a few months of age . So , I feed him on my patio for a few weeks , until he got a little comfortable with the surroundings . Then I set up a cage with a can of tuna to catch him . He only took an hour or so to catch . I brought him into the house and opened the cage . He was scared at first . But , he got used to me and he was a great kitten . Never went to the bathroom on the floor , I’m the only person he’ll go to and he’s still my little boy .
I’m over 18. My favorite spring memory is at Easter time. My two kids making their Easter nest for the Easter bunny to leave their goodies. Then later watch them hunt Easter eggs. Now I watch my granddaughters hunt eggs.
Yeah, I have been 18 a few times! LOL! I live in Sunny Florida in the Good Ole USA! My favorite spring memory is of my brother taking me out to my very first spring fling dance. We later partnered as a dance team for years, but this was the very first time he had taken me out to an actual dance with him and his friends. He was the very best brother and friend a girl could have!
I’m much over 18 and live in the USA midwest, head od the great lakes region. My fondest spring memory and activity still, is puddle jumping. Though my knees have gone to crap. Snow melt and rain puddles make me smile no matter what se is happening in my life. I rescued a gorgeous malnouished but neglected or lost kitty. I restored her to good health and fluffy fur and re-homed her.
I am over 18 and live in the US. My favorite Spring memory was when I met the black neighborhood stray cat who we would eventually take in. He first came over curious about our gardening activities. Slowly over that Spring he let me approach him and culminated in his napping on my lap in the afternoon shade. By the end of Spring we had mutual trust that he accepted becoming an indoor house cat. My husband named him the “Midevil Count Noche” because his behavior was only half bad in the house.
I am WAY over 18 years old, live in the USA. Best spring memory is Easter egg hunting in our Easter dresses with my sisters after Sunday church services.
I am very over 18 and live in the US.
Hmmm…my favorite Spring memory..I used to love Easter time growing up. Waking up to overstuffed Easter baskets with chocolate bunnies, coloring/hunting/hiding Easter eggs, new Easter dresses, Easter dinner, setting friends at church.
As an adult, I still love to color/hunt/hide eggs. And eat the ears off on a chocolate bunny. LOL
I am over 18 and live in the United States. My favorite spring memory is back in 2011 when my dad came to visit us after my daughter was born. It was the first time i had seen him in 4 years and it was great to reconnect after that long. It was also the first time he met my inlaws. We had a great time while he was here.
I am over the age of 18, and live in the USA. My favorite spring memory is the first time I brought day old baby chicks home to raise. They are so adorable and cute at days old. Once they hit two weeks they are all gangly teenager and look out of proportion with their big wing feathers and small body and head. It is quite amazingly big to watch their antics.
I am over the age of 18 and I live in the US. My favorite Spring memory has to be the year it snowed for Easter. My Grandmother had been over the night before and was unable to leave that morning. I loved my Grandmother with all my heart and I never got tired of being with her. I prayed the day before that she would stay to see us do our hot/cold searching for our Easter baskets. My prayers were answered and to this day, I am not sure how. By the afternoon of Easter, the sun had come out and the snow was almost all melted. Flowers barely covered with snow. That is my absolute favorite Spring memory.
I am over 18 and and I live in the US. My favorite spring memory is my late husband going out each spring and getting me some apple blossoms and lilacs, every year until his passing.
I’m Stacy and I’m over 18 and from the US. I think my favorite Spring memory is reading on my outdoor covered porch during a rainstorm. The sound of rain is so peaceful and with a good book it’s amazing. I got most of my best reading done on that back porch, so many books in the rain.
Are you 18 or older- yes
Are you in the US or international? US
My favorite spring memory is planting the flower garden every year with my stepmom.
I am over 18. I am in the US. My favorite spring memory is going to the daffodil festival. There’s a daffodil festival near my area it’s just gorgeous. I can’t wait for those kinds of things to start up again.
Over 18. Live in the US, California. Best spring memory is when I was a kid at a local lake feeding the ducks and birds with my brother and sister. There was a little concession stand there that sold the package square pink popcorn. I loved that stuff it was such a treat after seeing all the animals.
Happy Spring!
I am over 18 and live in the US. My favorite thing every spring is the 1st crocus bloom. For me, its the definate sign that spring has finally come.
I am over 18. I live in Houston, Texas and my favorite spring memory is taking pictures of my little boys in the field of blue bonnets and then we went to the blue bonnet festival where the kids had fun riding the train and listening to music. It was such an awesome family day! My boys are now grown and live on their own so we don’t have that many family outings anymore which makes this memory so special!
I’m well over 18 I live in the US and my favorite memory of spring would be when everything come back to life &
I am over 18 and live in the US. My favorite spring memory is when I was little we used to make may baskets in school and hang them on the door know, knock and run away.

I live in the US and I am well over 18 years of age.
My best spring memories are when it rained. I remember going out and walking barefoot while the rain came down.
I still love to walk in the rain, only now I don’t normally go barefoot.
I am 18 plus quite a few. I have grandkids over 18. Yup, I am that old. I live in the US. PA to be specific. My favorite memory of spring is standing with my 8 brothers and sisters under the huge lilac in the yard so our picture could be taken in our Easter finery. The smell of the lilacs and the chocolate stains on the new white gloves we girls got in our baskets are things well embedded in my mind and heart.
I am, in fact, over 18 (by quite a bit) and I live in the US. I’m no good at favorites, but a very pleasant spring memory is from a neighbor of mine. She has about 2000 tulips in her yard (no exaggeration) and after they bloom a little while and she’s enjoyed the view, she invites everyone over to pick them and go home with a bouquet.
I live in the US and am well past 18.
The best spring I can remember? Well in all of my 65 years I truly can’t remember any spring that stands out. I love spring though, the new growth, the world awakening from winter slumber. The sun seems a tab bit softer in the light it dispels. Baby animals of all types being born. Knowing that camping weather is upon us.
I am over 18 and live in the US. My favorite spring memories always included going to my grandma’s house and helping her get her spring flower beds ready and picking lilacs from her beautiful white lilac bush she had. She also had these unusual red flowers that always reminded me of red velvet. I’ve never seen flowers like that anymore.
I am over 18 and live in the US. My favorite spring memory is one year on Mother’s Day my husband said he had something he wanted to show me. We had recently moved to Montana and he took me for a drive to the most beautiful, idyllic spot I’d ever seen. There was an old country store sitting on the corner at the bottom of a hill. There was lush, green grass and a creek bubbling by. This was on a Sunday and no one was around. We walked down to the creek behind the buildings (probably trespassing) and I instantly fell in love with Lloyd, Montana. So much so that I was determined to live there and within a few months, we did! We bought the entire town which was the store and house and spent many wonderful years there.
I’m over 18 and from the US. The best spring memory that comes to mind, I was 8 or 9 and we went camping somewhere in Ohio. It was the best camping trip ever. We had fun all day just hang out with family and fishing and grilling and dad wasn’t drunk and mean, which was rare. We had the best time. But what made it the worse is while we slept it rained and it rained so hard that our tent leaked and flood. We ran to wake up our parents and they were not in their very flood tent so we ran the the van and there set mom and dad laughing at us because we look like drowned rats. By the time we got cleaned up and tuck back in the van this time we went back to sleep. The next morning we cleaned up and had a good laugh. The memory is hard now and a little sad but it is good to remember loved ones that have passed in happier times. Dad just left to be with mom in February so is still raw to remember memories for him or her. Thank you so much for this opportunity to remember a good memory of him which is a very rare.
I am in the US and over 18.
Every spring is a good memory for me as my birthday is the 21st of March. One of my favorite memories is of a slumber party I got to have when I was 9. We had a snow storm during the night and the next morning my Dad took his tractor and plowed all the way (about 2.5 miles) to the small community where my friends lived so they could get home. I guess he didn’t want to be stuck with a gaggle of giggling girls!!
I’m over 18 and live in the US
I’ve two spring memories the first is way back when I was a teenager and the Cadbury Bunny commercials first appeared on TV, my mom thought the Bunny was the absolute funniest thing she had ever seen. She cackled her head off every time the commercial played. The second is maybe not funny but,to this day I think about my son’s first Easter. We ended up spending half the day in the emergency room because my son was a early bloomer and ran down the hallway only to hit a door frame. The Dr at the ER told us 9 month old babies weren’t supposed to be able to walk yet let alone run.
I am definitely over 18! Not sure if like to go all the way back to that age again, but perhaps a little younger? I live in the US, in the state of Michigan… the one shaped like a mitten! I have several spring memories… last year my youngest sister and I flew out to CA and did a road trip coming back… bringing the eldest sister with us to come and stay with our dad! We had an amazing time making so many memories! Stopped in Vegas for 2 nights, youngest and I did the zip line on Fremont street…woohoo! Saw the grand canyon and drove on route 66. Another favorite for spring is having the pussy willow tree developing the kitten toes! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m turning 42 in October this year. I am native to Colorado! My favorite spring memory would have to be when I was a little girl. I had the prettiest light pink and white dress with all the frills and lace. I remember having this little tiny trinket set toy with a castle that had little tiny fairies that lived within… And this one little unicorn trinket I took everywhere with me. I thought I had lost it in the grass in our yard and was very upset by this. My dad, came out to help me find it and we did. We spent all afternoon out there looking and I remember smelling the first buds of Russian Olive trees here and how devoted my dad was in helping me find my unicorn trinket. The way the sunlight beamed off my dad’s face with his smile trying to be positive for me. My dad was killed when I was 10 years old so I hold that memory very deep and close to me because he was my daddy and that’s one of the few memories I remember. Those little trinkets had a very light beautiful sent to them that I have never smelt again… But those olive trees bring nostalgia right back like I had traveled to a place in time where innocence existed with the play of magick and my dad was here in this world with me… Every spring ❤️
I am older than 18. I live in the US.
My best spring memory is an old one. I would sit in the shade of the front porch while my father mowed the lawn. It seems so simplistic, but the hum of the mower and the smell of freshly mown grass was so serene. To this day, the scent of mown grass evokes that fond memory of my father.
I am over 18 and live in the US. It was a nice Spring and Easter. I was around 6 at the time and I was so sick. I can’t remember what I had, but I ended up missing all the family get togethers and dinners. It was awful, so my mom ( who is good at crafts) made me this huge homemade basket full of candy and toys and her homemade cookies. She fixed the basket up really nice. I remember mom and dad presenting it to me while I was laying on the couch. It made me so happy. They took a picture too of me laying there holding my basket just beaming. I love that memory so much. My mom really went out of her way for me to make me feel better. I hope my children have special memories that I left with them as my parents did with me.

A favorite memory from spring, is as a young teen, my parents, after saving money for a long time, took my brother and I to Europe. We went to Denmark first and met some of my moms 2nd n 3rd cousins, then we went to England and Scotland for an Armstrong Clan gathering and met some more distant cousins from my dad’s side of the family. It was while we were in Scotland and England, I had this amazing sense of feeling like I was home. The beauty, old world charm and otherworldly feeling the place gave; it made me fall in love with it.
I am over 18…..live in the USA….watching the look of joy on my son’s face when he played soccer for the first time.

My favorite spring memory are having my children. All born in March. They are now grown up, but spring is always a fun time for our family.
I am over 18 and live in the US. One of my favorite spring memories is when I discovered that my mom’s favorite tree bloomed beautiful pink flowers. It turns out this tree was a magnolia tree. We would collect the fallen petals and crush them to make our our perfume.
I’m over 18 & live in the US. My favorite spring memory is the joy of seeing the first blooms of daffodils & moss phlox.
I am over 18 and live in the USA. My favorite spring memory is the birth of my son right at the end of spring.
I am 47 years old and live in the USA. My favorite spring memory happened just a couple of years ago up in mountains near Yosemite. The breathtaking blue sky, the smell of the tall pines and I realized all my thoughts quieted. There was a cluster of butterflies that flew near me, one landed on my arm. I suddenly smelled roses and ocean air. I was high up in the mountains, there was just pine trees and beautiful scenery. Ocean is hundreds miles away. My maternal grandmother had a beautiful rose garden in Santa Cruz. My “Nana” was saying hello! I’ve never had an experience like that. That smell instantly brought back such happy memories of my family and I in Santa Cruz.
I love this ❤️
I am over 18 and my favorite spring memory and thing to do is plant a vegetable garden with my dad and picking out fun new flowers to plant each year.
I am over 18 and in the US. My favorite spring memory is planting sunflower seeds with my mom. She taught me a lot about how things grow and ways to help them along. We spent the spring prepping the garden and planting a sunflower fairy ring of sorts. I remember being a small child sitting in my yard chair shaded by a 5ft tall ring of sunflowers. Magical.

My favorite memory of spring is my first time having the chance to plant plants. Lovingnin apartments you could never real do anything that wasn’t potted. So I was thrilled to be able to be in a house where I could plant. Being able to have a garden was a great joy!

My favorite spring memory isn’t just one; its the jumbled collage of Easter preparation with my mother, when I was a child. Coloring eggs was something we never missed doing, and I always found myself getting unreasonably frustrated that I couldn’t make the beautiful eggs like I saw on TV with my crayons and dye. Now I realize that A- a lot of those were cartoons and B- the ones that weren’t cartoon were more than likely painted glass, not dyed shell. After that would be the afternoon spent tearing the house apart trying to find the eggs Dad hid for me while Mom and I did the eggs.
Yes I’m well over 18 and in the US. My favorite memories were and still are watching everything come to life and just walking around bare foot in the woods to feel one with the earth and it’s beauty. Thank you for this chance and blessed be
Yes, I am over 18 and live in the US. I have two memories one was picnics on the Smith river with my parents and my maternal grandparents eating fried chicken. The other is Easter watching my son trying to find Easter eggs. After giving up the adults would collect them from their hiding places. The best one was on the car. He had walked by several times and never saw it.
I’m older than 18, and I live in the US.
My best spring memory was years ago, when I was a kid on vacation with my folks, going to my first live baseball game in the old Gerry Park in Montreal, Canada with my mom. We went because the Mets were playing. We took a bus from our hotel and unfortunately the driver spoke little English and we spoke no French, lol. But we got to the stadium and had a great time. The Canadian fans teased us, especially me, but in was all n good fun. The Canadian fans were very hospitable and shared food with us. It was the best spring day ever.
I am over 18 and in the US.
My best spring memory is going on a school trip to the Cloisters and exploring the museum there and then we had lunch outside.
I’m over 18, and a US resident.
One of my favorite spring memories is my kids and my first public Ostara ritual! There was an egg hunt, a maypole, and of course, circle and rit. It was all fun and beautiful.
I’m over 18 years old and I live in the USA. My favorite spring time rituals when I was young was making May day baskets and delivering them to all my friends.
I am over 18 and US resident. My best spring memory is of tulip fields with lots of beautiful, unique tulips. The last time I went to Tulip fields was in La Connor WA for my husbands birthday before he was diagnosed with cancer. He bought me 10 different kinds of tulips from peppermint stripes to tulips with wing petals to varieties with unique colors.
I’m over 18 and a US resident. I have so many great spring memories. I think some of my favorite are flying kites with my dad and family picnics.

My favorite spring memory was this past weekend when my daughters got up all excited to see a trail of Easter eggs leading from their bedroom all the way through the house then outside to a treasure chest filled with sand toys in their sandbox. They have played for hours in the sand enjoying the beautiful if some days chilly weather.
I’m over 18 and a US citizen. My memory is from when I was little on Easter. It starts with getting up to find a big basket of candy from the Bunny, then getting to wear the pretty dress, hat and white shoes bought just for that day. After church we’d go to Gran’s to hunt for eggs and baskets with our name on it. Of course we kids always found the ones that weren’t ours first. Depending on the weather we’d go daffodil picking on a hillside full of them while waiting for lunch to get ready. Finally all of the family would get to sit down to a huge meal that always finished with Gran’s strawberry filled cake, YUM!
I am over 18. I live in the US.
One of my best spring memories happened while we were living in Germany. Our apartment was at the end of a dead end street, with a large open field laid out at the end of the street. We could easily look over the field from our bedroom window or from the balcony off the living room. That very first spring, it was one of the first really nice days after a very snow-filled and cold winter. My son and I went out on the balcony and the entire open field was transformed! It looked like clouds had settled to the ground and were walking around! The field was filled with sheep and baby lambs, milling all around and you could hear their bleating everywhere! There were 3 or 4 shepherds and some dogs out herding the sheep around but it was obvious that this wide open field was there for them to graze. The two of us watched for almost an hour, just taking in a sight I had never seen before.
I am over 18 and I live in the US. My favorite memory is playing whiffle ball in the yard with my little nieces and nephews and we scared up a rabbit the day before Easter and the kids all yelling it was the Easter bunny.
I’m over 18 and live in the US. My favorite spring memory is picking freshly blooming lilacs from our bush and wrapping them in damp paper towels to take to my elementary school teacher. Thank you for the giveaway!
I am over 18, live in the US an Smyrna favorite memory of Spring is watching the Spring tulips that I planted in the Fall sprout!
Over 18 I’m in the US, my favorite memory of spring is sitting in the dirt beds planting the garden while my boys rode around on bikes and played in the dirt with me
Hello. I am over 18 and I am living in the US. It’s hard to pick a Spring memory. When I lived in Germany I loved walking with my mom finding little snails to put outside her window. I would find so many and get excited about everyone. My mom would always collect them, so excited for me, but I’m sure she dropped most of them back where they belonged when I wasn’t looking. Also I love remembering how my mom and I used to plant flowers. We’d come out everyday and watch the flowers grow. She has passed now but flowers are something I kept up with, for her.
I’m over 18 and live in the USA
My favorite spring memory is when I was younger spending time with my grandparents especially during Easter having early dawn service and then going back to their house for homemade breakfast and made from scratch grits and eggs and cinnamon rolls & toast. I just love spending time with them during the spring season
I am over 18 and live in the USA
I have lots of good memories of spring because my youngest daughter was born in April and her son was born in April and my oldest daughters daughter was born in April so we have a lot of celebrating going on.
I’m over 18 and I’m in the USA. At first I wanted to say that my best Spring memory was having my kids as they were born in April just shy of exactly 4 years apart by 9 days. However, I’m thinking it was more being pregnant with my cat being pregnant and we would take walks together on the ranch. The cowboys at the bunkhouse would always be respectful of us as so would the dogs as my cat had taught them early on to leave her be. She had her kittens the day after I had my daughter. When we got home from the hospital, she proudly showed them off to us after checking out my daughter. And when my grandparents came with their miniature poodle and doxie, she had to show her 5 kittens off to all 4 of them as well. Those kittens were as well looked after as my daughter.
Hello , I am over 18 and living in the US.

We had many ups and downs, I asked often. then after she fought and won the battle against cancer, we decided that is now time to get married. So i love that start every spring with my soul mate and best friend.
I am over 18 and reside in the US.
My favorite spring memory is going on a family vacation to Michigan and fishing in the boat with my dad on the St. Joseph River. After a few days of fishing, the family went to Lake Michigan. I could not believe how vast the body of water was! I thought I was experiencing what the ocean looked like. Such precious memories.
I am over 18 and live inthe USA. Best spring memory is when we got our kitten, Queen Kitty, 16 yearsago when kids were small and she had such a personality that we wondered if she was part human! my dh at that time was just entering the picture and was amazed at how her personality was so amusing and she loved to scare me a lot. LOL
I’m over 18 and live in the US. I’m not sure if there is one particular thing. What I do love about Spring is when you hear the peepers (frogs) start to peep. It is so relaxing and peaceful. The other thing is the trees are starting to have that pop of green. And the smell is fresh and clean. That is my favorite thing about Spring.
I am over 18 and live in the US. I guess my first good memory of Spring was when I was a teenager down in TN. Had a lot of hummingbirds that year and it was fun when they would fly around my head and dive bomb me.
I live in the US, and over 18. My favorite memory from spring is this. I guess I had to be around 10, and I was helping my mom plant flowers. She was adding cow manure to the soil. I am sitting next to her happily helping her mix it in, when she says something about it being cow poop. I look at her in disgust, when it finally clicked that manure was poop. I get up, walk into the house, and proceed to wash my hands for 10 minutes.
I’m over 18 and live in the U.S. Some of my favorite spring memories are celebrating all our families April birthdays. My mom, grandfather, sister, my twins, my son-in-law, grandson, and myself all have birthdays in April! It’s a special month full of love and family.
I’m over 18(38) and in the US(OK)
My favorite memory of spring was when I would help my grandma plant her vegetable garden when I was a kid. I loved being with her and learning everything she taught me.
I am definitely over 18 and I live in the USA. Right now the memory that’s on my mind is visiting my family in Bellingham WA and going to a town of tulips where we strolled through the fields of beauty. I am taking Mt daughters to a tulip farm here on the East Coast Sunday and it’s really putting the lovely memories in the forefront of my mind.
I’m over 18 live in the US. Best spring memory the birth of my son 27 years ago tomorrow the 23rd. He has been the best kid a mother could have and we have the best time when we take walks in the woods and explore our world and all its wonders.
Hi, I am over 18 and live in the US.
Holidays of any sort were my fathers thing. It was always big and fun. One year for Easter it was raining so hard it had been for days. He was not to be stopped on the Easter egg hunt. He had gone around the whole house making little nests with Easter grass and placed an egg in each. They were hidden all over. This is one of many wonderful memories of my dad.

My favorite spring memory is of when I was little and my Da took me to our field and told me if I could find what was laying down in the field I could name them and Raise them as mine. I found a baby sheep I named Mary Lou and she loved butter rum life savers.
That’s my favorite memory
Are you 18 or older (you don’t need to tell me how old you are)?
– Yes.
Are you in the US or international?
– US.
Tell me about the best spring memory you remember from your life–what is the best memory you have from spring?
– Oof, Spring has always been a special time for me–my birthday is 4/7, and my youngest brother’s is 4/11. I would have to say that it’s been all of our birthdays growing up together. The best memory would be our birthdays when I turned 17. We did an outdoor spring fest type event in the park behind our house, it’s not always nice enough to do this, but the weather was beautiful. My grandparents and our family and friends all came to celebrate and we just had a great time outside.
I am over 18 in the US, my favorite spring memory is sunrise service at church on Easter morning.
I am over 18 and live in the US. My best spring memory is a strange one for spring. It was April 1984 and we were living in Weymouth, MA. We had just had a blizzard and my sisters and I were out playing in the snow. I was only 2, almost 3 years old at the time. My sisters were digging tunnels in the snow, that’s how much snow we had gotten. And to test out the stability of the tunnels, my sisters would send me in, being that I was too young to know what they were doing. But it was a happy time for me. I was out playing in the snow and I was getting to play with my big sisters. Who can find anything wrong in that? Besides, they were obviously very good at making the tunnels, none of them ever collapsed on me.
Yes, I’m over 18 and live in the US. My best spring memory is from 2006. I watched my daughter walk across a stage and graduate high school. Why is that the best? My daughter is from India and arrived to me as a 9 month old who only weighed 7 lbs. Not a typo 7 lbs. A year later I was told she had cerebral palsy, would never walk and more than likely profoundly mentally retarded. Fast forward 18 years. She walked across the stage without help. Yes she uses a walker or wheelchair sometimes but she does walk by herself. Mentally she functions about a 13 year old. She has a wicked sense of humor and gets sarcastic remarks before anyone else. She worked very hard to get where she is today. She lives with a roommate and support staff and has worked at a movie theater for over 15 years. I’m very proud of her and hopefully you see my favorite spring memory.
I am over 18 and in the us. My best memory in the spring is going to my dads when I was young and we’d hunt eggs and get candy and the Easter baskets we’d get. I also remember spending time with my family and getting together to eat a huge dinner with my grandma every year. We’d go to church and come home to the best dinner. These times I remember the most mainly because my dad was alive. I cherish every memory.
I’m over 18 from the US. Every Easter we would get together with all my family on my father’s side. I have such great memories of hanging out with my cousins and Easter egg hunts.
Over 18 and in the US. My best spring memory is the one I’m about to make. We have a new house that I am about to put a garden in and my daughter has a big yard now. We have cranes that are a mating pair in the creek behind our house. We’ve already started seeing turkey, deer and a giant hawk that’s around a lot. You can hear coyotes and we think possibly wolves. I’m already in love and more at peace
I’m over 18 and a U.S. citizen. My best spring memory is from age 7. My mom had me deliver a note to a neighbor in the early morning. The weather was mild and everything was in full bloom. The air smelled like lilacs.
Over 18. In USA. .My favorite spring memory is from being a kid and being able to ride my horse for the first time of the spring. No saddle. Just me and Jake.
I am a US citizen and am def over 18…..try 60 lol and my best spring memory is watching my 5 younger kids hunt the Easter eggs the 3 older kids had hidden ….
My best spring memory is when my moms lilac bushes would bloom. They were so full of blossoms! She had them planted on both ends of the house . She’d open the windows and the smell would carry through the whole house. Every time we’d move, she’d cut off a piece to start new ones at the new house. My sister hasthe last 2 bushes alive from cuttings from the original plants and they’re over 20years old.
Yes I’m over the age of 18 and I live in the United States. Best spring memory that I have when I was little we used to lay in my front yard on a quilt or a blanket or something and watch what we used to call heat lightning in the spring. Used to think that was the most beautiful thing in the world.
I am over 18. I am in the US. One of my best spring memories is going shopping with all my friends for our freshman formal that was at the end of the school year. We decided that we’d beat the rush on dresses so that we could have the best selection. And we did. We spent hours all picking out the right one and then we all piled in my friends car and went out for pizza.
I am over 18 and live in US. Some of best spring memories is walking down to Fenway Park as a college student and watching opening day baseball games. I would sit in the bleachers for many games during warm spring nights.
I’m well over 18, I live in NY USA. Bike riding with my sisters, or horse back riding with all 4 of us on at once. All the family gathering.
I’m over 18 and live in the US.
One of my best Spring memories is getting a call from my friend while I was planting flower seeds. Her cat Phoebe was starting to go into labor, so I rushed over to her home in time to see 5 gorgeous kittens born. One white, one black, one grey , one white with black stripes, and a cream with black stripes!
We agreed to take two of them ~ the white girl with black stripes, and the cream striped tabby . We fostered the others until homes could be found.
We named the white striped girl Pandora, and the striped tabby Luna Bean, for her huge eyes and tiny body.
They are the joy of our lives! Luna just turned 16 in March. They were so bonded and loved to lay in sun puddles together. Although Pandora passed two years ago, seeing my Ides of March girls born will always stay with me as the miracle it was.
I feel very blessed for my being owned by them!✨
Im over 18 and from Germany- international 😉
One of my best spring memories are a picknick with a lots of my friend, laugh, joy and sun.
I’m over 18 and in the UK so international.
My fav spring memories were going to my aunties house before she moved. It was a lovely garden where we could dig, plant veggies and generally get messy.
We would help with her flock of baby birds and she would rescue lots of dogs. Some were nice some were crazy but lots of Sloppy doggy kisses too.
So my favorite spring memory was about 5 years ago. We had Easter dinner at my hubby’s sisters house. My younger two kids and all my nieces and nephews were under 11 years old except 2. My oldest niece is a photographer and had an Easter bunny costume so I decided to dress as the Easter bunny for the Easter egg hunt. My youngest child at the time was a 9 year old girl. She has autism and pays a lot of attention to detail. She saw my sneakers and realized I was the Easter bunny, but she kept the secret because she didn’t want her cousins to know the Easter bunny wasn’t real. At the time she was almost completely non verbal if she was upset or excited. It was such an awesome day to have that “secret” with her. I live on the east coast of the USA and I’m in my 40’s.
I am over 18 and in the US my favorite spring memories are working with my grandparents in the dirt to get the garden ready and planted. The smell of rich dark loom, hands deep in the cool soil, planting seeds. I was strange perhaps but I would talk to each one before placing them to rest in the earth. The joy of watering, the anticipation waiting for them to germinate and burst forth. Then it was on to the flower beds, rich in vibrant colors. The garden was my sanctuary filled with peace, growth and light.
I am well over 18, and I live in Pennsylvania, USA. My favorite Spring memory, was the birth of my Son.
I’m over 18 and live in Texas, USA. My favorite spring memory was always at my Grandmother’s house…I always considered spring to have started when the bluebonnets started blooming. My Grandmother had an entire field that bloomed every year and we would always take pictures out by the rusted plow that was kind of decorative. Then my mother would drive us down some random road off of I-10 and we would take pictures off the side of the road. To me, bluebonnets mean spring. I miss my Grandmother something awful ever since she passed. Her old house is gone but I now have my own pictures by the side of I-10 with my boys.
My grandmother passed about 15 years ago… She was my favorite person in the world. She taught me all about crafting. I used to spend weekends and every school break at her house and we would stay up until 2 or 3am crocheting or making things with plastic canvas to give it as gifts. Now I carry on those memories with my children. The 3 of them that weren’t old enough to remember her(my youngest was born a year after she passed) all crochet with me now and my youngest uses the plastic canvas crafts as a calming technique when she’s on sensory overload. It’s so special to have a piece of what she’s given me that I can share with my children and keep the traditions going of making a blanket for all the new babies born in the family.
I am over 18, a US citizen, my favorite Spring memory was my 1st Easter as a Mom to my adopted son. Watching him enjoy this was the best.
I’m over 18 and live in the US. My favorite Spring memory is taking pictures with Mom and Dad on Easter Sunday either before or after church. This was a tradition we did every year. We were in our Easter clothes and took turns taking the pictures (ie: Me with Mom, Me with Dad, Mom and Dad together. I believe we did pictures with my sister when she lived at home.)
I am Way over 18yrs old, I live in USA, CO
My best Spring memory is when I was out in the mountains with my infant son in his Cradleboard. We were enjoying the day and played in the creek while doing our morning prayers to Tanka Sila!! My son was singing with nonsense words, but singing his praises in his own way.
I am well over 18, I live in the US, Colorado. My favorite memories of spring have always included looking through my grandparents lawn looking for the first crocus blooms. We always tried to find them before Easter. My grandma used to tell me that it was the first sign that Persephone was starting her journey home.
