I love that the days are warmer, the trees start to bud, and the critters come out of hibernation. The air is fresh and the Maples have been tapped. On my way into work this morning I saw a Tom turkey trying to impress his harem and none of his ladies were interested, lol. They were too busy gobbling (ha!) up whatever seeds/worms they could. And the deer have started running around our house again! They're so cool to watch. What are your favorite things about spring?
The longer days are a given, but things I'm looking forward to this spring:
Opening all the windows to air out my house
Oh my god, yes! our house is so, so stale right now. We have really old, really shitty windows, so we plastic them up to (try to) keep the heat in. I made my husband take down plastic in the kitchen and the dining room, so that we can get some air. Finally.
Of course, I woke up this morning and my eyes were itchy and my nose stuffy-yet-runny. So apparently, allergy season is on its way. Which is NOT my favorite thing about spring. At all.
The longer days are a given, but things I'm looking forward to this spring:
Opening all the windows to air out my house Having it be warm enough to sit on my porch with the paper and my coffee on Sundays Taking my first bike ride of the season
I was just asking DH last night if we could start going for walks in the evening soon. He usually prefers to bike and can't wait until the snow melts enough. I'm trying to get him in the habit so we can get a dog
It looks like the crocuses are starting to come out in my neighborhood! I see little green shoots coming up. This is my first spring in my new house and I am seeing some green shoots from bulbs in one of the planters. I can't wait to see what everything is!
