Spring

SPRING!

My husband always asks me why spring is my favorite season when it rains half the time. It has ALWAYS been my favorite... and not just because my birthday is in March. There are a LOT of reasons I love spring the most.

Not only is the temperature very pleasing to me, but I love the first signs of blooming flowers and brown grass turning green. I love that spring brings "new" promises and "new" ideas. New hope, new wonder, spring cleaning...

Spring kind of reminds me of life..... there IS a lot of rain sometimes, things flood, dreams become clouded and foggy at times.... there are deep water puddles everywhere. You have to learn to jump over  them, walk through them, or find a way around them. However, beyond all that... there are such beautiful things to embrace such as those amazingly wonderful daffodils blooming and holding their own through the cold and storms.

Planting gardens with the hope of healthy food for the family, the first sign of life after all the cold and death, THAT is why I love it.

Not to mention, wearing rain boots that my grandpa was so fond of!
