Hey there, fellow spring enthusiasts! Can you feel it? The days are getting longer, the air is getting warmer, and the world around us is bursting with life. That’s right, folks, springtime is here, and there are countless reasons to love spring. It is probably my favorite season and today I will tell you why.
Reasons to Love Spring
- The weather is changing
First things first, let’s talk about the weather. After months of chilly winds and gray skies, spring sweeps in like a breath of fresh air. The sun starts to shine a little brighter, and suddenly, it’s warm enough to leave the house without bundling up like an Eskimo. There’s something so invigorating about shedding those layers and stepping outside to bask in the warmth of the sun. It makes me excited for some reason as well. - Nature is extra beautiful
But it’s not just the weather that makes spring so special – it’s also the way nature comes alive after its winter slumber. Everywhere you look, flowers are blooming, trees are budding, and birds are chirping. It’s like the whole world is waking up from a long nap, stretching its limbs, and greeting the day with a newfound energy. And not just nature waking up after a few darker and colder months. It also feels like I am waking up after a few months. I love sitting outside in the evening when it is all quiet and the birds are still singing while the sun sets. - Spending more time outside
I am not the biggest fan of cold weather, so during the colder and darker months, I spend a lot of time inside. But as soon the temperature rises and the sun comes out, you will find me outside again. I love sitting outside reading a book, and I love going for a long walk on a beautiful sunny day. I love going to the park. And it is the best season to explore new cities because it is not too warm and not too cold. I like eating outside and I like going to festivals. Spring is definitely my season. - Longer Days
During the winter it gets dark very early, and the sun sets around 4 PM already. But during spring the days are getting longer again and I love it. The sun sets late in the evening, which allows me to read a book outside in the evening. It also gets light early, which means I see the sun immediately after waking up which feels amazing. I like those longer spring days. It feels like I have more hours in a day. - Fewer layers
As I mentioned I am not the biggest fan of the cold and during the winter I wear multiple layers to keep myself warm. I care less about how I look and more about keeping myself warm. But that all changes during spring. I love wearing dresses, cute tops and shorts. I don’t like to wear a lot of layers. I feel more confident in dresses and when I look cute. So that is another reason why I love spring so much. I finally feel like myself again. - Everything feels brand-new
When spring begins a lot of people are working on their gardens and homes. It is like spring is the start of something new. Everyone is cleaning their homes and getting rid of things they don’t need anymore. I love this kind of feeling. It is a feeling of hope and excitement. I also feel like a brand-new person as well. Suddenly I am full of energy again (probably I am getting vitamin D again) and I get excited. I also use this time of the year to start new habits and to clean everything. That means getting rid of clothes I haven’t worn all year and donating them. - Outdoor activities
Around Easter, it is the start of the new festival season. And from that moment, we spend a lot more time outside. Suddenly there are tons of activities outside. Everyone is organizing events everywhere. I never get bored, because there is so much to do. There are flea markets outside everywhere, farmers’ markets, all kinds of festivals, book markets, and food festivals. There is so much to do during the warmer months and I just love it. It feels great to spend time outside again after sitting inside for months. - Fresh Produce
And by fresh I mean, really fresh. I know someone who grows their food from fruit (strawberries, raspberries, etc) to veggies (lettuce, tomatoes, etc) and I also get a little bit. And it tastes so good. There is also a period during spring when fresh asparagus is available. We also call it the White Gold, because it is so popular to eat between April – June. Everything tastes so fresh because it is all local food. The best seasons to make fresh salads and eat lots of berries.
So there you have it. These are my 8 reasons to love Spring. Do you like Spring? Or do you prefer a different season?
