Reasons to love and ways to enjoy Spring...

Noticing that the once barren and lifeless trees and flowers and plants are now back and beaming with bold, bright, beautiful color.
The smell of your house after leaving the windows open
That wonderful not-too-hot, not-too-cold feeling outside.
Slapping on your favorite pair of sunglasses and rocking your first pair of flip flops for the year (whichever pair you chose for the day, because you of course own a pair in every color and shade), and getting used to the way they feel again.
Picnics in the park, and some frisbee and a walk to burn the calories.
The way that sitting in the grass on a blanket outside and enjoying the sunshine makes school work a -little- bit better.
Driving in the gorgeous weather, sunroof open/top down, with your favorite Spring weather cd playing.
Playing outside with the dog.
A new Spring wardrobe??
Not even going to lie, SPRING CLEANING. Please tell me you don't feel happy putting on your favorite music and opening the windows and getting things clean and organized? I think that's one of my life's natural highs.
The perfect weather for Ice cream/frozen yogurt trips (a MUST!!)
Not only for ice cream trips but also road trips! (need I remind you: sunroof open/top down, favorite music, favorite pair of sunglasses!!)

Most of all, how the world is in a naturally wonderful and happy mood on the perfect spring day! The Lord's creation is gorgeous. :)


Today is one of those days. Enjoy it!!!!


And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
What was frozen through is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every season’s change
And so it will be
As You are re-creating me
Summer, autumn, winter, spring
