There are special things for each of us that remind us of the change in seasons. What is it that lets YOU know that Spring (or warmer weather in general) is here?
For me, it is a few different things. When I was in high school, it was dudes on the basketball court. ALL the fine dudes came out when it got warm to hoop! And all the fast girls would be right on the side lines, LOL! We also knew it was warm back then when the cars with bangin' systems (Irocs, Blazers, 9-8's, Park Avenues, etc.) and tinted windows were just out, cruisin' and bumpin' Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's "Summertime."
Now college... You knew the weather broke when all 150 Black folks were outside!! Chillin' on the Crenshaw wall (that's what we nicknamed it), somebody had their car stereo on for us to chill to, and we'd be eating Chillers (Wittenberg's name for Blizzards) and chillin'. Man, those were the days!!!
Fast forward to present day. I now realize that the weather has broken when I can wear lighter clothes to work. No more boots. And I don't have to get up earlier in the morning to let the car heat up and windows defrost! LOL!
So, what about you? What lets you know that Springtime is here?
How do you know it's Spring?
