Spring Fling Blog Hop: Oh, Glorious Spring!
I love spring. Usually I love winter, too. There is something fresh and exciting about new fallen snow. But this winter I've been dreaming of spring since, oh, about January 10. That was the date of bebe's fourth snow day. Yes, it's been a lo-o-ng winter here. Since the week before Christmas we've had a minimum of 5 inches of snow on the ground...a maximum of about 13 at one point.
Was it worse than winters in other places? No, and a lot of you probably had worse winters that we've had. Still, as the sun starts to shine a little more brightly and those first sprigs of new grass start to push through the ground cover, I am getting really, really excited. About spring. And planting new flowers and mowing the grass and walking the dogs without the need of a facemask *and* a scarf wrapped around my face.
What are you most looking forward to this spring? Leave your answers, along with your email address, in the comments for a chance to win an e-copy of one of my books - winner's choice.

I'm looking forward to wearing open toed shoes again. And pedicures. Hurry up spring!
ReplyDeleteMy poor feet! I know you can get pedis in winter but I've always wondered what the point was when you had to then put on heavy snow boots. I likes to shows off my toesies when they're pretty! Thanks for visiting, Gemma!
Deletehas to be the way the cats go bonkers in the sun, and the lack of layers on the school run with the blossom blooming on the trees!

We've had a minimum of 3 layers for the school run since Christmas. Yes, it will be NICE to just grab a light jacket (or no jacket at all!) for that soon, Manda!
DeleteThe beautiful weather and the flowers blooming :)

Oh, I miss flowers!! Those pops of color never fail to cheer me up, Mimi!
DeleteI love blog hops! I truly enjoy meeting new authors to feed my reading habit...not to mention the prizes offered along the way. I've never counted on, nor have I ever won, a grand prize; but I just enjoy the hopping around! Fun fun fun. I enjoy the bright clear weather at Springtime...and the floral sprays of color. Thanks for the post. jdh2690@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI celebrate Spring by beautifying my front porch with all manner of plants, flowers and decorative pots. I finish up with a new cushion for my favorite chair and I'm set for endless days of reading and relaxing.

We have a big open field, well it used to be a field, now it's just a grassy area, behind our house where we can spot deer...Love that, thanks for visiting, Eric.

Hi, Natasha, I've been *waiting* for those longer days...now that we've done the spring forward thing I can't wait for them to get warm, too.
DeleteI'm looking forward to the warmth and being outdoors!
ReplyDeletewriteforward at yahoo dot com
Yes! Writing outdoors, walking outdoors...having the windows open so the outdoors can come inside...all good things, Zoe!
DeleteI'm looking forward to being past the melt off stage of spring - I am super worried about flooding

Surfing in warmer waters, I know I shouldn't complain I think the coldest it got here was in the 40's and just for a day or two but I hate surfing in the winter, the water is too cold.
