I decided today that
I think spring is my favorite season. Every season has its positives and
negatives, including spring. But I decided today that I think I enjoy the
positives of spring more than the positives of the other seasons. Sure,
I think autumn has beautiful colors. And I love to watch snow falling in the winter and see
beautiful landscapes of pure white after a fresh snowfall. I love to bask in
sunlight and be warm in the summer, but not too warm. But spring. Oh spring…
I
love the
excitement I feel when I see new buds beginning on trees. Anticipating
the
new growth. I love watching everything turn from bare and brown to
green,
green, green. And I absolutely love the rain. I love to hear the pitter
patter
outside and on my windows and watch the droplets create their ripples in
a puddle or make their track down a windowpane. I do look
forward to sunny skies but I don't mind the clouds as much when they are
dropping down rain. I love the smell of rain, the sounds of rain and the
sights
of rain. And as a little bonus, my birthday is in spring!
Sometimes I wonder
if loving rain has anything to do with me being born on Vancouver Island. My
parents are from Calgary and moved back here when I was 1. I don't remember
anything from living in BC. Although I remember lots of vacations there… camping
in tents, in the rain. But I
wonder how
many times I fell asleep to the sounds of rain as a baby. Perhaps there
is still a subconscious trigger towards peace when it rains.
Today I ran lots of
errands and we were in and out of the house 6 times. My baby boy jumped in the
same puddle 5 of the 6 treks to/from the van. On the 6th time, we were coming home and I was
finally prepared with my camera to make sure I got a cute picture of the splash
and the smile. Of course, this was the one
time he decided to be grumpy and come straight into the house. Oh well. Maybe
tomorrow I will get my pic.
I hope everyone is enjoying their spring!
P.S. I would like to
know, what is your favorite season and why?
