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.

All of a sudden the air is warmer; you look around and flowers are in bloom everywhere. So many pretty colors and fresh smells and the daylight even stays around longer to witness it all. It just seems like a fresh new start.
What I enjoy the most about spring is the warm weather that allows me to be outdoors more. I enjoy working in my garden. I love day trips to the zoo, picnics and watching my grandchildren play on the playground.
I love how everything goes from dark and dingy to bright and cheerful
I especially love spring after the cold, snowy winter. I love watching the birds in their nests (and their babies being born). We have a pond in the middle of our subdivision and the Canadian geese and Mallard ducks have their babies by it and I love watching them on the pond. Some of my favorite flowers are spring flowers and I just love the rebirth of the trees and flowers in spring.
I love the longer days with the sun shining. I feel rejuvenated and want to re organize and paint something.
Flowers and baby birds .....flip flops and sunshine. Everything seems new again

I love spring because the trees are once again so full and green , flowers are blooming everywhere , I get to bring out my shorts and flip flops and enjoy sitting outside
Spring means fresh flowers and sunshine! Lots of outdoor fun!
I love the cooler weather, windows open, playing in the park and hiking can all happen!!
Longer days, opening all the windows, gardening and flip flops.
Spring is great, though Fall is my favorite. I find that in the spring I'm so busy that my family doesn't get enough relaxing time together unless we make it a priority. We spend alot of time outside hiking, canoeing, roasting marshmallows and getting our home ready for summer
I love warmer weather and the lighter days. I enjoy watching the flowers bloom and spending time outdoors
I love Easter! Such beautiful colors
I love everything about spring! I can finally come out of hibernation, the weather is just perfect, flowers are finally blooming, April blossoms, spring break with the family, vacation time, I can go out with my kids and bike ride and finally.... it's my Birthday month!
