The Thing I Least Like About Spring by Delaney

Before I start complaining, I want to say that spring is my most favorite season.  I had quite a lot of problems trying to think of something I do not like.  After all, in spring, the flowers bloom, and the grass hasn't been cut yet, so the ends are still pointed and fun to walk barefoot on.  The birds have come back, and their lovely songs are the first thing I hear in the morning and the last thing I hear before I fall asleep and dream of running through pleasant meadows filled with wild flowers.  Best of all, in the spring, our farm animals have their babies, and there is nothing cuter than a baby chick, except for baby bunnies!  The baby calves are born, too, and then there is the job of bottle feeding them, which everybody wants to do, so it is a race to see who gets to feed next.

I have come to the conclusion that the thing I like the least would have to be all the pollen.  Pollen makes my nose runny and that is not fun.  Also, it sparks my contact allergies to be allergic to everything: animals, plants, soap, and even bubbles.  The rest of the year, it's just cats and new detergents, which is much more bearable than being allergic to all of Mother Earth.  Lucky for me, though, the allergies fade in a couple of weeks.  In the meantime, does anyone have a hankie?
