I don't think it's any big secret that I am somewhat of a fan of Spring. In all honesty, I really don't love spring that much, I like summer but after the long cold ugly Winter months, Spring is a welcomed relief even if the weather is unpredictable. There are thing about Spring that I do LOVE very much.
10. Not freezing! - we love being able to walk outside without our shoes on, we love not looking for coats, hats, and mittens for all 3 of the kids every time we go outside. We love not having to heat the cars up 10 minutes before leaving to go anywhere. And we really really really really really love not having to run our furnace :-) Here's to shoeless days and low gas bills baby!
9. Using the picnic table - A lot of people that we know have really nice patio furniture. Ok, lots of people we know have a patio. We don't. But we bought a picnic table about 4 years ago and have used the crap out of it ever since. It serves as our lunch table most days when the weather is nice. It's my outside office. And it a symbol of fellowship and fun for us because we had had so many guests enjoy our picnic table from the old house, the rental house, and now here, this old table has absolutely served us well!
8. Lots and lots of family fun. From baseball games to days spent down at the park...we take advantage of every opportunity we get to have a little fun and there is no better time to do it than in the Spring when the temperature is tolerable for everyone!
7. Food! Don't get me wrong, I love hearty, stick to your ribs, comfort food. But by the time Spring rolls I am so thrilled to pull out all of my fresh, spring recipes. The plum salsa you see pictured below is one of my favorites! Yum!
6. Starting the garden- We love having fresh produce no farther than our back yard and getting the garden started in Spring is always fun. Now that we have a green house, we can start them a little earlier. Currently there are tons of budding green plants growing at a rapid rate in our green house and we are so excited to see all the fruits of our labor come in over the summer!
5. Storms - Who doesn't love a good thunderstorm?

4. Sidewalk chalk - Our kids adore sidewalk chalk. They play with it for hours, and I have to admit...I'm right down there with them!
3. Lots and lots of birthdays! We have a lot of Spring birthday's in our family so we all get our fair share of cake and ice cream ;-)
2. Flowers
1. Easter!!! We all LOVE Easter!!! Cute clothes, dying eggs, candy, family, church, and lots and lots of fun? Awesome!
