Welcome Spring...

...you've been dearly missed!

With today being the official day first day of Spring, there are a few things I am so looking forward to over the next three months:

• Flip flops
• The smell of flowers on my and Roxy's daily walk
• Blooming cherry blossom trees on my drive to work
• Opening the sunroof for the first time in months
• Green trees lining the streets
• Being able to start opening the windows and enjoying a breeze throughout the house
• Leaving to go to work when it's light out, and returning home while it's still light (though, to be fair, this has been the norm over the last few weeks, and I am thoroughly enjoying it)
• Putting my peacoats away and knowing that soon, I won't have to wear a coat at all
• The need to wear sunglasses
• Attending Mariners games (it would be a lie if I didn't mention that this is mostly for the yummy hot dogs you can get outside the stadium)

But most of all, Spring means anticipating the arrival of Summer (my favorite season), and all the fabulous things it brings.
