Ode to Spring

I love the seasons….I am so happy I live in a place where we have four distinct seasons. If you asked me which of the seasons was my favorite, I would say fall. I love the crisp air, apple picking, hot cider, pumpkin carving, falling leaves, the beautiful colors and delicious smells of fall.

The more I think about it though…I think my favorite season is the next season ☺ Let me see if I can explain. Back at the end of fall I couldn’t wait for winter. I wanted it to snow so badly! I couldn’t wait for warm soups, cuddling in a warm blanket by the fire, being snowed in with my family, building snowmen and all the other glorious things of winter. Now that it is March…I am so sick of snow!!!

I am now ready and eager for spring to start. I can’t wait for green grass, tulips, playing at the park, the fresh smell of spring, wearing lighter clothing and longer, warmer days! However, I know that once spring is here and gets going…I will be sick of the black flies, mud and rain and be longing for summer!

Summer brings the beach, cool lemonade, swimming outdoors, trips out for ice cream and two weeks to relax at the lake. It also brings my birthday and anniversary! However, once summer comes and the heat and humidity start to get to me (I don’t have central air) I will be longing once again for the cool crisp days of fall. So I guess in reality…my favorite season is the next season. So come on spring….you are my favorite right now and I can’t wait to see you again!!!!
