What's one little thing about spring that always makes you smile?

B Natural answer

What usually makes me smile is the smell of rain on the pavement, because it reminds me that winter is really ending. I also like the first flowers, especially when they show up near the sidewalk. And if the sky clears later, a quiet blue afternoon feels like a small gift.
