...Spring Fever...

I love spring...I love finally getting a chance to go outside and feel the warm air on my skin. I love watching the leaves on the trees go from tiny green buds to bright green baby leaves. I love watching my boys run around in the front yard, driving their match box cars in the dirt and chasing each other with their toy lawn mowers.

I love that the world seems to come alive...not just the nature that lives in our yards and state parks...but people seem to come alive too. At least it seems true for me. When the weather turns beautiful enough to finally venture outside for the good part of the day I feel like the something in me that has been missing all winter has finally come back to take a deep breath of fresh air!

"It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! "
~Mark Twain

Did you know I am related to Mark Twain in some distant way? I should read more of him, he is after all a relative! I think I will actually...starting this spring :)

What is your favorite thing about spring? Is it even spring where you are at?
