Spring has finally arrived in Maine, and it is glorious! The sun is shining, the temp is about 60 degrees and the air smells like someone sprayed that unmistakable spring scent everywhere. I've got the windows and French doors open to create a luxurious cross-breeze -- and I'm wearing a fleece jacket and my Wicked Good LL Bean slippers to be able to enjoy it fully.
Spring is a welcome event to just about everyone, for a variety of wondrous reasons. But for those of us who live in colder climates where winter can last a good bit after spring has officially arrived, coming out of winter hibernation is an event to celebrate indeed.
That, combined with the progress I'm making in terms of preparation for the upcoming move and the calendar rapidly counting down the days toward it, contributes to the feelings of happiness, excitement and anticipation that I just can't seem to shake these days.
What is spring heralding in your neck of the woods?
It's so nice here. Spring hits quickly, but that also means it ends quickly. We'll be experiencing insufferably hot temperatures by next month and it will stay that way until well into fall.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Georgia for a while and remember those quick-onset springs well, along with the quick-coat pollen. Hope you enjoy the lovely spring weather, for as long as it lasts!
DeleteQuick-onset Southern springs, that was. :)

ReplyDeleteHey, Shawn. Thanks for stopping by, and following along!
DeleteSpring has finally arrived here too. (In North Dakota). It's been a long cold winter. Not so much snow for us, which is unusual, but the cold had been awful.
ReplyDeleteI go back and forth between spring and fall being my favorite seasons. I lean more toward fall, but spring is so wonderful too because of all the changes. As you probably do too, we have four distinctive seasons, but spring brings that green growth that is so needed after a long dreary winter. (I do like winter, just not how long it lasts. :) )
Suzi, I'm with you all the way. I enjoy some aspects of winter, but as it heads into late March and April, it feels like enough is enough. And I've often said that early spring and early fall are my favorite times of year -- it's clear a new season is in the air, the weather is rather temperate and there are wonderful things to look forward to during each one. Happy spring to you, and thanks for stopping by. :)
