Spring is Here, There, (almost) Everywhere!

The smell of fresh cut grass after a spring shower, the sight of the first flowers in bloom like miniature boquets for a dollhouse, and the sounds of the migrating birds heading North after the feel of the first warm breezes, are all my favorite parts about spring.

Then there are the tastes of Spring... with the Easter holiday quickly approaching, I have been reminding my tastebuds about all the wonderful flavors I do not normally let them have... Such as the jelly beans and peeps that only come around this time. Not to mention the white chocolate bunnies... so good! I'm not sure what it is about Easter that makes us so inclined to purchasing bunnies made up of cream and a hint of chocolate with frosting eyes,but then again why do we eat cotton candy & funnel cakes at fairs, or candy canes during christmas... we just do.

I also love the fact that here in Florida, spring is not only cool but warm too. There are 70F winds with a very hot sun... cool rain showers with a sunny hot day. What's not to like about that? It's much better than having freezing-cold weather or the kind that is so hot, you choke on your own evaporating saliva! Just beautiful weather here in the spring.

My favorite thing about spring though, is the fact that the Tulips are in bloom... I just love tulips! With all their colors and varieties, they are the best thing to wait for. When that first little bulb blooms, and the first sprouts & flowers begin to appear, my heart leaps for joy! They are gorgeous and the one thing that I must wait until next year to see again. Until then, Enjoy! ;)
