What Spring Brings

This year Spring could not have come fast enough and I continue to find its arrival to be totally energizing!! Do you feel the energy it has brought? Are you looking at all the signs of life and the changes that are around you like I am?

With spring just getting to Virginia, I have created a list of 10 things that it has brought with it...

10. The Frisbees are back!!
For some reason we don't play Frisbee in the winter even though the dogs really enjoy it, and I enjoy watching them have fun too!
9. Ice-cubes & Cold Drinks!
The dogs love having ice cubes after they've been out playing in the warm weather--For me, there's nothing like a cold Diet Coke on any kind of day!
8. Green, Green Grass of Home!
About half of the dogs love to eat grass and I think it's simply because they just enjoy it. When we lived in a subdivision the dogs always got sick when they ate it--Now they don't and I wonder if it's because we don't use any pesticides.

Whoops, wrong picture--That's one of the cows across the road!

7. Sniffles, sneezing and coughing!
With spring comes allergies galore; hay-fever season has officially begun, and I'm not immune to it--But I am not complaining...aahhh-choo...

6. Hair, hair and more hair!
Lets not forget what brings on some of these allergies--the shedding season!! I usually toss the dog hair into the yard and let the birds grab it to use in their nests--Since the dogs keep me warm, then it should keep the baby birds cozy too! 5. More time outside and more daylight!
I really like getting home from work when it's still light and I can walk with the dogs in the evening! This picture was taken at around 7 PM this evening from my front porch. I'm also thrilled that I caught the first glimpse of our resident ground-hog running across the yard as I went out to take this picture.
4. No more mostly brown everywhere!
I love the color that spring brings!!!
3. The Warmth of the Sun!
Who doesn't get their inner batteries recharged when it's sunny outside?
2. Sitting on the Front Porch!
Our favorite past time! For us, it's the perfect setting for some afternoon reading and just hanging out.
And the #1 thing that has come at the start of Spring??

1. Easter Goodies!!!
Who couldn't love a season that involves chocolate bunnies?

Whatever Spring has brought to you, I hope you're enjoying it!!
