Well, hello there, spring! In North America, it’s the first day of the season. Flowers are emerging from the earth, the grass is turning green and the sun is peeping out from the gloom. For many, spring is the ultimate annual phase for fresh beginnings.
But higher temperature devotees contend there’s no better time of the year than full summer! They live for pools, vacays and golden rays!
Here are our (almost) serious reasons why spring might be the best of all seasons:
Cold and contrast
For months on end, we’ve been cooped up, staring longingly at the outside world on the other side of the frosty window. Getting out means winter sports or shoveling white stuff off the sidewalk. The reward? Frosty noses and cold toes! It seems like winter just won’t end. Then, bam! Spring arrives in a burst of glory with longer hours of daylight and warming weather. It’s almost a Goldilocks scenario; not too cold or too hot — just right! Spring is truly the sweet spot between shivering and sweltering.
Cute and fluffy
Spring rain showers are charming (rather than winter’s gloomy storms) and sunny daylight hours restore our energy. It’s a time of new birth and all things fluffy and adorable. There are downy baby chicks, ponds of darling ducklings, wobbly fawns, bleating lambs and a general cuteness overload. It’s almost like classic cartoons playing out in real life.
Blooms and blossoms
Spring is the earth saying, “I am waking up!” Flowers blooming are a visual feast and represent nature’s vibrant awakening. The landscape is transforming from gray and brown into a kaleidoscope of colors and a spectacle of shapes. Scentsy’s Fragrance Flowers help bring that beauty indoors along with soul-enriching aromas.
Sun and warmth
What’s the one thing nearly as good as getting to the front of the line? Being next in line. The early warmth of spring helps us anticipate summer heat. We revel in pleasant spring temperatures while our excitement builds for scheduled vacations and summer fun. Sometimes the thrill of anticipation can outshine actual events. Spring helps us savor the excitement of the adventures to come.
This and that
Snow and summer heat have a kind of charm in their “sameness” throughout the season. But spring is the master of variety! From unseasonably warm days to unexpected spring snowflakes, spring keeps us on our toes. Better keep shorts, galoshes and parkas at the ready! Spring rains saunter in to shake things up, adding to the medley of blustery, calm, hot and cool days. Ever-changing weather adds a special spice to the everyday.
As we bid farewell to winter and embrace the wonders of spring, it begs the question: Is spring truly the best season of the year? We’ll leave that up to you. But one thing’s for sure: Spring knows how to put on a show.
