10. Opening the windows
Once it hits 50 degrees, that seems like a fair temperature to open the windows and get some fresh air, right?
9. Daylight
The spring days seem to be endless- a welcome reprieve after months of short days.
8. Disappearing mountains of snow
There is something therapeutic about seeing the shrinking mountain in your front yard. One day you can’t see over it. Two days later, it’s nothing but a molehill. Fantastic!
7. People out and about
After a winter cooped up in the house, there is no greater sign of spring than the people who seem to be awaking from hibernation. People are out walking dogs, running, biking- enjoying the fresh air.
6. Green
After months of white and brown, a little green brightens up the days!
5. The Smell
Sigh… the smell of spring. We’re not sure what exactly the smell is, but we know we love it.
4. Leaving home without a coat
There is something so freeing about running errands without the weight of a coat. We may or may not stop wearing it a little bit early, but hey… it’s been a long winter.
3. Grilling
The first grill of the season is something worth celebrating. As is the second. And the third. And so on…
2. The sounds
By the end of the summer, birds chirping might be annoying. But right now, it’s heavenly.
1. Eating on the deck… or even better- the patio!
It feels like an invitation to really enjoy your meal, rather than dining and dashing. Put your feet up, enjoy your beverage, and stay for a while!
