I like all the seasons, but I usually seem to like the one I’m in best until the very end of the season. Right now I like Spring.
It rains in the Spring. I like rain because it smells good. It makes everything feel clean and new. It gives variety to my life. I even like thunderstorms because it makes me humble and reminds me of the power of God.
Flowers! The flowers start to come back and they smell good and help me to be cheerful.
Easter. My birthday. May parent’s birthdays. Passover.
The sunshine comes back warm, but not too warm. I always forget how much I missed the sunshine during the winter and it’s like a great surprise every year.
Green grass and leaves.
Strawberries! I had strawberries for breakfast with a little whipped cream. Who knew that two cups of strawberries has fewer grams of carbs than a cup of cereal?
Other spring fruits and veggies! Asparagus, artichokes, apricots, avocados, and pineapple. (I just found a list of fruits and vegetables by season–with pictures!!–here)
The farmer’s market starts up again and I can find good produce next month!
General Conference
Kites–I should bust out our kite and take the kids kite-flying with all the wind we’ve got right now.
Spring Cleaning. I rarely actually do a whole huge Spring Cleaning, but I do get a little bug in my head helping me to get motivated to try to get things back in order.
Anticipation and planning of summer vacations.
Did I mention flowers and sunshine? I really love those…
Ahhhhh…..all of that sounds SO refreshing and lovely! I too love Spring…
Now if only winter and summer could go away–I could totally deal with fall and spring and be a happy camper!
