Spring is a season of renewal. Even though the real warmth and lightness of spring is still a few weeks away, here are some spring things I am excited about.
The Colors
The grass is a brilliant green. Flowers are blooming in every color imaginable. The sky is an incredible blue. After winter’s grey, monochromatic color scheme, I am glad to see color!
More Daylight
It is always frustrating to me at first when we turn the clock ahead an hour. I miss that extra hour. But, once I get use to the time change, it is good to have that extra daylight. It makes me feel that there are so many more things that are possible each day.
Spring Clothes
It is a wonderful feeling to start packing up those heavy coats, sweaters and boots and bringing out the capris, t-shirts and sandals.
The Warmth of the Sun
Is there anything better that the sun shining on your face and shoulders on a bright spring day? ( personal note: I drive a convertible.....)
Love is in the Air
It probably seems strange to put love on a list of things about spring, but as Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote “In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” The revival of nature is felt within us, and our feelings awake and we feel closer to each other.
So get ready to open your hearts and windows!
