Things to Love About Spring

After some wacky weather lately, with temperatures varying from 50-something to 80-something, it seems like spring is finally here to stay. With this our fourth spring here in Richmond, I'm reminded again of how thankful I am to live in a place with such great seasons. There are so many wonderful things we are enjoying about spring!

1. Getting to play outside on a regular basis
2. Playgroups at parks or people's homes where we can take advantage of great weather
3. Planting our first garden this year--the ground is worked, and I'm hopeful that seeds will be planted this week!
4. Planting some petunias in our window boxes--this was a sadly neglected area of our house last year, primarily due to the fact that I spent last spring either about to burst at the seams or caring for a newborn and adjusting to life as a family of four
5. Windows open and letting fresh air blow through
6. Actually looking forward to doing laundry so I can hang the clothes up on our line out back

Fall has always been my favorite season, but now I think spring may have just overtaken it!
