Things I LOVE about Spring!

(Numbered for reference - not to indicate importance)

1. Being reminded of the infinite shades of green God has created
2. Budding trees, bushes and flowers
3. Taking the dog for walks (no, we don't go for walks in the winter)
4. Fresh air - in my home, in my car, in my lungs
5. Hearing birds chirping in the morning
6. It's sunny when I wake up AND when I come home from work
7. Putting away my heavy winter coat
8. Turning off the seat heaters in the car
9. Rediscovering my warm weather wardrobe
10.Running outside without an ear warmer, scarf, warmth layer, wind layer, or runny nose

And so so much more... I think Spring is my favorite season - at least until summer comes around! What do you love about spring?

I love that the sharp edge if off the air and everything feels softer, even when the temperature can't really be called warm.

And I especially love when the leaf buds are like a green mist over the trees but you can still see the intricate lacework of the branches through the mist.

Not looking for my keys in every jacket
Fresh air
my toys can come out
Not being COLD

I love the smell in the air of flowers, watching my tulips bloom, and seeing the "snow" falling in my backyard, which is really thousands of white petals falling to the ground from our pear trees.

I love running outside period. I don't run outside in the winter. I feel alive again when I am outside.
I love how bright and warm the sun gets.
I love how much easier it is to get Isabelle in and out of the car, the store and anywhere else when the snow is gone and the weather is warmer.
I love tulips, can't wait till they start coming up here.
