Some of the reasons I love Spring

Top 5 reasons I love Spring

1. Open windows.  There is nothing like the smell of fresh air the first time you open your windows in the Spring.  I literally get giddy to switch the glass for the screens so we can air out the house.  And then there is the wonderful chill at night when you keep one window cracked a bit.  Oh how I love waking up and snuggling up with my blankets and warm husband.  Or puppies.  Depending on which you have nearby.

2. Love is in the air.  I have no idea what it is about Spring, but it makes me fall in love with everything all over again.  Somehow the hubs seems just a bit sweeter, the puppies appear to be more well-behaved.  Going out to the park seems more romantic than ever before and snuggling up on the couch in the chilly night air reminds me of our first nights together.

3. Outside activities.  Hiking, running, walking, playing softball.  Why does everything seem so much better when it's outside? 

4. Spring flowers.  I'm not so into the April showers, but boy do I love me some spring flowers!  I get excited for every little bud.  I tend to them all day and all night, whereas by the summer I tend to get lazy.

5.  Perfect temperature.  Spring is amazing because it's warm enough to run outside or put away your winter coat, but not so hot that you want to crawl into your basement and blast the AC.  You can choose between wearing a skirt or pants and you'll be fine either way.  You can open up the windows and fall asleep with the fresh air but still cuddle up with the down blankets.

So there you are, my friends.  Now get off the computer and go out there and enjoy the fresh spring air.  As for me?  I'm going to go enjoy a nice cocktail by the pool in the Dominican Republic.
