spring musings

hi, i'm meg, from meg's musings! i am so excited (and honored) to be doing my very first guest post while jozen is soaking in the beauty of hawaii!
spring
is hands-down my favorite season.
i revel in it.
this revelry may have something to do with the
loooooong, cold Michigan winters i must endure each year.
i (along with my fellow Michiganders) am basically forced to hibernate for (at least) four months, my poor skin receiving so very little of the Vitamin C it craves.
and though i do appreciate a fresh snowfall,
my wonder and awe turns to annoyance and rage come March.
i have to make a real effort to resist
becoming melancholic.
but although i am not especially fond of these winter months,
in a way, i am thankful for them.
because when spring finally does begin to peak her head,
and i feel the warm sun beaming on my face after months of deprivation,
it is one of the most glorious feelings.
it makes me feel alive and hopeful.
there's no way i would appreciate it so much if it weren't for winter.



one of my most favorite parts about spring is the ever-so-brief period
when the trees bloom - particularly cherry blossoms.
they make my heart go a-flutter.



these are all trees i swoon over on hubby and i's daily walks through the neighborhood
with our rambunctious pup Magglio.
i'm pretty sure Maggs likes spring just as passionately as me
because of these walks :)


what about spring makes you swoon?

these flowers are absolutely beautiful!! being outside and seeing lovelies like these makes me swoon! also being able to take walks in the park b/c the weather is nicer!! however, t-storms, hail and tornados really do put a damper on things... =(

walks are definitely loveliest in the spring. You know it's spring here in the DC area when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. They're magnificent!
