We would load up the yellow Cutlass Supreme station wagon and pick blackberries during blackberry season or spring onions during spring onion season. For us, food was part of the fabric of our day.
I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
When I began visiting Bordeaux in 1979, only a handful of writers were there to taste the wines in the spring (and nearly all were British).
In spring training, I just try to spread everything out so I can be 100 percent before the season starts. I don't want to start feeling like I don't get it once the season starts. I want to be 100 percent on Opening Day.
Early spring is the time for vigorous change, a preparation for the heat-driven oppression that is to come.
If you wait until your children are high school seniors to spring it on them that there's not a whole lot of money for school, they won't have too many options.
Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same.

I raised frogs every spring in our house from tadpoles and by end of summer our house was overrun with frogs.
No, Queer Eye has a book coming out before mine, in the Spring of 2004, in which each of us has a section and we do a brief overview of our subject area.
When I'm desperate for spring produce but nothing has hit the farmstand yet, frozen green peas are a godsend.
At its core, 'Spring Awakening' is about the perils of miscommunication and what happens when people are denied a voice.
I have some shorter stories coming out in other books early next year. I might be pitching a re-vamp of Ghost Rider in the spring. We'll see.
Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you're signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.
In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.
Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.
I want any excuse to come home. My dad is not a spring chicken any more. If anyone says, 'Go buy a postage stamp in London,' I'll go and do it.
For those of us imprisoned in Poland, the Prague Spring was a harbinger of hope.
The Polish freedom movement of 1968 lost its confrontation with police violence; the Prague Spring was crushed by the armies of five Warsaw Pact members. But in both countries, 1968 gave birth to a new political consciousness.
The Arab Spring showed that people are not going to wait for an American president to make good on his big talk about democracy and human rights; they are going to fight for those rights themselves and overthrow pro-American dictators who stand in their way.
Analysis I take to be a scientific procedure. What I do is creative. It doesn't spring from the same part of the mind.
