I Break For: Spring

It seems as though taking a week off of school/thesis/email/life near the beginning of March (aka Spring Break) results in the arrival of 80 degree weather and daffodils. What a pleasant finding for the Nelsons. We left the home state (Washington) on a rainy/snowy/mushy Sunday to return to our home in Durham where Spring was not waiting on us to arrive. It had come and seems to be planning to stay this time.


Bumble Bees
Pink Trees
White Trees
Budding bushes everywhere
Short sleeves
Sunny glasses
Mosquitos
Ticks
Flip-Flops
Rolled Down Windows
Brackets
Flowers!
Beautiful Things
Sweet Smells 
Running Outdoors


Warm and Fuzzies


This is some of what Spring to me.


And I'm loving the start of the warm, light-for-longer, sun-shiny months here in good old North Cackalacky.


Is Spring arriving where you are? What are your favorite things about it?
