Happy Spring!

I guess most of us, if not all, are excited that spring has finally sprung. My daffodils are in full bloom which is a pretty sight. But there’s more to look forward to this spring and here’s our list.

1. Warmer Weather

This is on the top of hubby’s list and that’s because he doesn’t like cold weather at all. I don’t like it when it’s too cold, too, but I don’t like it super hot either, just like in my tropical home country. So for me, spring weather is just so fine – not too cold and not too hot.

2. Braves Baseball

My baseball fanatic hubby is itching for baseball season to arrive. I’m excited to see the Braves play again too and cheer them on. We’re also excited to learn that they are going to allow 33% capacity in their ballpark. So let’s see if we’ll make a trip to Atlanta this season.

3. Playing Golf

They had a lot of restrictions last year because of COVID so the hubs just chose not to play at all. He can hardly wait to stroll the links again this year.

4. Cleaning

Our yard is awaiting us. Or I must say, waiting for the hubs. Hehe. There’s going to be a lot of raking, blowing and of course mowing on the horizon for him.

5. Tweeting Birds

Hearing the birds tweeting is always a delight. I’ve been hearing them for days now and their tweets are always music to our ears.

6. Flowers Blooming

It’s just my daffodils that are blooming now, and I can’t wait to see the others show off their beauty.

7. Planting

I always buy hanging plants for our front porch every year. So we’re going to be doing some plant shopping soon. I’m also planning to replant my phlox because they’re not blooming good now.

8. Opening a Window for Fresh Air

There’s nothing better than inhaling fresh air after months of just inhaling whatever toxic air there is in the house . Let us breathe fresh air and let the house breathe as well.

9. Grilling

We love grilled food. Hubby’s the grill master over here and once he replaces the burner unit, he’ll be ready to rumble. 🙂

10. T-shirts and Shorts

Coming from a tropical country, I wear t-shirts and shorts all throughout the year. I do enjoy sweater weather, too, but the comfort of these clothes can’t be beat.

11. Sandals and Flip Flops

Our winter here in the south is not that brutal compared to the winter they have up north. So I usually wear my slip-on sneaks more than my boots. But I would love for my feet to breathe. So I make sure to enjoy my sandals and flip flops in the spring and of course, summer.

12. Longer Days

I’m still trying to get used to the sun still being out while we’re having dinner at 6 o’clock. Back in my home country, the Philippines, the sun is up by 6 o’clock in the morning and down by 6 o’clock in the evening. All day, everyday. And we don’t practice Daylight Saving Time so that’s a totally new concept to me.

13. Easter

We’re still going to celebrate Easter quarantine-style , but we’re going to enjoy some good food, for sure.

14. Spring Break

My son definitely needs a break from school although he’s doing remote learning. And I’m excited for him for that.

15. Mother’s Day

My husband and son always makes this day extra-special for me so I’m always excited to celebrate this with them.

How about you? What are you looking forward to this spring?
