What Is Your Favorite Sign of Spring?

ANSWERS:
  • "Some say the world will end in fire. Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if I had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate, to say that for destruction ice is also great, and would suffice." Robert Frost
