Favorite Things

Spring is my favorite season. I have always loved it. I think it started all because my birthday is in spring, but here is a list of some reasons why it is my favorite, even if I don't get to experience it all since I am in Washington now.

• New Flowers


• Everything is Fresh and Clean


• Thunderstorms (when I lived in Colorado. We do not get them very often in Seattle.)


• Fresh Cut Grass


• The smell of rain (when I lived in Colorado. You do not smell it much in Washington since it rains so often, as odd as that sounds)


• Spring Cleaning


• Being able to open the windows and air out my house


• The Tulip Festival in Mt Vernon, Washington


• The random Spring Blizzard that usually happened in Colorado


• Playing outside with my kids


• Puddle Jumping


• Rain Boots and Jackets


• Getting our vegetable garden ready


• Hanging Fuchsia Pots


• My new hot pink razer scooter that I can ride with my kids


• Garage Sales


• Birds Singing


• Strawberries


• Shortcake with the above


• Seeing my awesome neighbors again after the long winter.


• Starting outdoor projects

Oh there are so many more, but I will leave you with these for now.

What are your favorite parts of spring?
