Spring has sprung!! Well, at least in my neck of the woods it has. I know that I have friends scattered around the country who are still dealing with winter but we had a pretty mild winter this year and I am seeing signs of spring, I have new baby fish in my pond, my roses have little green buds on them and my spring flowers are blooming. I know that I will probably be moaning about the fact that we have no water this summer but for the moment I am glad to have spring upon us.
I have a love/hate relationship with this time of the year. I hate the fact that the time change occurs this time of the year. I really hate losing that hour of sleep and it seems to take me a couple of weeks to adjust to it but I love that fact that it stays lighter at night and I can enjoy spending time outside. I love leaving work at 2:00 pm and knowing that I get to enjoy the warm weather and blue skies. One of my favorite things to do this time of the year is to sit out in the front yard of my house and soak up the sun. We have a south facing house and we get lots of sun there, a good book and sunshine and I am a content soul. I love seeing the new flowers and new growth everywhere but it reminds me that it is time to do the annual yard cleanup. We have two dogs and the yard has not been cleaned up since early this winter. It is a huge job and usually takes a couple of days. We have an above ground pool at our house and surrounding it, is sand so we literally have a beach in our backyard. I love my backyard when I am finally done with the cleanup but I am not looking forward to doing it. I am hoping to get started on it this week if the weather will cooperate. Even though it is not one of my favorite chores to do, I do love the fact that I can plug in my IPod and be alone with my thoughts and music while I work in the yard. Sometimes it is exactly what I need. It will soon be time to switch out the winter clothes for the spring/summer clothes. I am looking forward to being able to wear my sandals and skirts again. I am tired of wearing the dark clothes and I am looking forward to spring/summer colors again.
What are you most looking forward this spring?
Thanks lisa, I feel years same as you. Just love this time of year. Starting my planting is small green house so they can be ready to plant out side in a few weeks. We have four really big dogs so it will take some time to get yard ready for my plants. Lol
ReplyDeleteSpring time is my favorite time of year, and even more so now that I'm older. I love seeing the buds of spring. Our renewal season comes a bit later, but soon, I will notice the "green aura" the trees will take on....and then, one day, as if by magic, there will be leaves. :D
