12 Reason Why I L<3VE Spring

S p r i n g is approaching and many of us couldn’t be more excited! There are so many great things that come out of Spring! As the snow melts away, we move into happier and longer days. Here are some reasons why I ❤ SPRING.

1. No More Snow

When the middle of March hits, we know it’s officially Spring! The snow has melted away and the grass begins to turn green. I love snow, but for me I only enjoy having snow around for a short period of time. I love to see the grass grow, turn green and smell the freshly cut grass.

2. Things Start Blooming

I love seeing the spring colors of flowers come out and show after a dreary winter. My favorites are the pastel colored flowers. You can just smell s p r i n g in the air.

3. Gardening

Just like my Momma, I love to garden. Every year I clean the weeds out of the garden, fill the truck up with mulch, buy my favorite flowers, and vegetables and start the gardening. I don’t get down and dirty very often but when I do, it’s gardening. Haha.

4. Fresh Air

I enjoy opening up all the windows in the house and letting the breeze whistle through the rooms. This is the time where I turn my thermostat off and let the outside air do its thing. My dogs enjoy driving through town, seeing all the people, businesses, and getting their doggie bones if we go to the bank or pharmacy. They love to stick their little heads out, through the window and let the wind flap their ears back with a smile.

5. Sunlight

The Vitamin-D hits the body. Our days become beautiful and sunny. Seasonal depression finally leaves along with the dreary gray clouds.

6. Warmness

When the sunlight hits my skin it puts out this warmness to my body and makes me feel happy. It just lets me know that spring is here and summer is on its way. We can now put our jeans, sweaters and boots away and bring out the capris, skirts, shorts and sandals.

7. Longer Days

I love when daylight savings time comes around because our days become longer. Heading to work at 7:00 in the morning, the sky is bright and awake and birds are out chirping. Then Leaving work at 5:30 in the evening, and knowing it is still LIGHT outside! You know you still have plenty of hours left of daylight to enjoy with your family.

8. Moods Brighten

This goes hand-in-hand with #7. When we get longer days, our moods brighten. I love coming home after work and knowing I still have plenty of daylight to enjoy with my pups and husband. My mood brightens when I see how beautiful and sunny it is outside.

9. Cookouts

Who doesn’t love cookouts?! Easter, Memorial Day… or just a beautiful weekend to have a cookout with your friends and family. Dad pulling the grill out and grilling the brats, hotdogs, hamburgers, and steaks. Mom making homemade lemonade. Grandma putting together her famous potato salad. Family members bringing side dishes and desserts. Spring brings everyone together and makes for an enjoyable cookout.

10. Camping

I don’t know about you, but my family LOVES camping! We look forward to it every year.. talking about it all winter long. Pulling the campers out of storage, choosing fun camp grounds to go too, getting the golf carts out, drinking, playing card games and roasting marshmallows over the bonfire. Camping to me, pulls the family closer each year.

11. Spring Cleaning

I have a love/hate relationship with spring cleaning. Yes, I love to deep clean my garage, shed, closets, baseboards, vents and more but no, I don’t enjoy doing it. Though, I do love the aftermath of it all. It feels good to open the windows, smell the fresh air, blare the music in the house and start the spring cleaning.

12. Spring Break

Every high schooler and college student looks forward to spring break. It’s the time we get a break from school and get to debrief for a minute. Many families plan trips, while college students head to different states for a long week of partying and bad decisions.

S p r i n g may just be my favorite season of the year.. beautiful flowers, animals coming out, happier people, longer and warmer days and more. I can’t wait to get outside in my garden and start planting my sunflower seeds. I can’t wait to get my camper out and go camping with the family. I can’t wait for mannnny more great things to come this Spring! I just can’t wait!!
