10 Things I Love About Spring

Spring is finally here! The calendar tells me today is the first day of spring, but when I stepped outside this morning it was in the 30s. Oh the joy of living in Ohio…where one day you have your heat turned on, and a few days later you might be tempted to turn on your air conditioner. As a teacher, I remember some spring breaks when we had snow. And then as soon as we went back to school we had beautiful weather. In the words of Alanis Morissette - ”Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?”
 
Since it's officially spring, here are 10 things I love about this season (in random order):

  1. Spring Break!!! - If you’re a teacher, you’ve probably been thinking about these 2 words since Winter Break. Spring Break allows us the opportunity to recharge so that we have enough energy to make it through the last few months of the school year.
  2. We have more hours of daylight.
  3. Opening up my patio door/windows and having fresh air in the house
  4. Going to restaurants and sitting out on the patio
  5. Sleeping with the windows open at night
  6. Going to parks / being out in nature
  7. Going to Cincinnati Reds games
  8. Riding roller coasters at Kings Island (my favorites: Diamondback, The Beast, and Banshee)
  9. Easter – Not just because it gives me an excuse to eat candy, but because we celebrate the fact that Jesus is alive and we have the opportunity to spend eternity with Him! To me, Easter represents the greatest love story ever told. 
  10. Summer is only a few months away!

While others enjoy new years as starting over I think of spring as a fresh start.as Easter is a sign of joy and celebration,there are greater things to come. I love the fresh new vibrant colors and the fragrance of spring. Splashing in the water puddles when its hot out,the sunroof open and the animal shaped clouds and the stars in the sky.

Yes! I also love seeing all the colors in nature. Maybe I need to make my list longer than 10. :)

I NEED to get my hands dirty and start working in my yard. I have been needing spring desperately this year.

I can't wait to see what your new yard/garden will look like! I would offer to help, but I don't have a green thumb. Have fun in the dirt!

I love the sounds and smell of fresh cut grass! Love to hear the birds and longer days of sunshine.
