We don't care if it's still snowing in the Northern Hemisphere; it's spring, gosh darn it, and we will celebrate accordingly! We have festivals devoted to flowers -- azaleas in North Carolina, daffodils in Washington state -- and to spring in general, like Arizona's Spring Fling. There's also the 95th annual Oyster Bake Festival in San Antonio, Texas, and New York City finishes Tartan Week with a big parade full of bagpipes and kilts and whatnot.

(Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, people who like to punish themselves will be running the Dead Sea Marathon. Eeek!)
