I don't want to sugar coat it. Spring is my favorite season. It's that sweet spot between bulky coats and bathing my whole body in sunscreen. There's just lots of great reasons to celebrate.
Why do you love spring - or prefer another season? Tell us and you'll be entered to win a foldable Fire Pit - so you can enjoy relaxing outside any evening of the year. Plus, this version even comes with a carrying case so it's great for tailgating, camping, or just hanging out in the yard.
I moan over losing that extra hour during Daylight Savings Time, but when it's still bright outside after dinner, it feels like a blessing. The weather is great for long walks, bike riding, playing with the kids, or my favorite - relaxing outside with dinner and a drink.
Flowers are finally out of hibernation and everything is blossoming. I love to get my hands dirty and feel the satisfaction of spending time outside in my garden. But even if you don't like to dig in the ground, it's hard not to smile when you drive down the street and see buds coming up, bushes turning color, or even fresh-cut bouquets in a store window.
Good-bye wool hats and mittens. Hello to throwing on a light sweater over flowy dresses or jeans with a cute tee. It's time to switch out the closet and get rid of everything bulky.
No, the cleaning part doesn't excite me, but now that I can open the windows wide, I'm finding my inner Marie Kondo and making the house feel a little more full of joy.
It's time to head out for delicious produce at Farmer's Markets and Strawberry Festivals. Or to enjoy the taste of spring all year long, plant an herb garden. You can buy the plants at your neighborhood garden store, and keep them inside or out. Cut the herbs off as needed, and sprinkle them on whatever you cook for months. Easy peasy and delicious.

Spring is my favorite because it's like a detox after winter. It feels good to be able to open the windows and let in some fresh air.
I love all the brand new life (animals flowers the trees) it's calming and peaceful
I really love the great smell of new flowers
I love Spring because it's when I can spend more time outside in my gardens and begin the growing of vegetables, fruits and herbs. :)
I love the spring flowers that start to appear, we start going in the woods to check for deer signs, and have campfires
I love spring for me it's essence is birthing. Spring puts me in an optimistic mood. Everything starts to bloom and grow, the sun shines more, the rainy days are family time (extra) and the house gets an overhaul. Out with the old and birthing of a new, Fresh start.
Daffodils!
I love that the grass, trees, bushes and flowers all come alive!
I love Spring because of all the beautiful flowers. It's nice to go outside without the horrible humidity that Summer brings.
