I enjoy spring because the seasons are not as distinct in Brazil as they are in the US. I’m amazed to see the transformation that takes place in the spring; it’s like nature is being reborn. The sun shines and the temperature rises, the trees start to release buds, plants bloom, the birds sing, and some animals wake up from hibernation. I also think this awakening phase excites us!
I was wondering how to take advantage of all this…that’s when the idea for this post came. I did some research to see what people recommend doing in the spring so that you and I can make the most out of it!
Here’s what we can do 👇
🌻 Take advantage of nature to:
- Watch the sunrise and/or the sunset
- Watch the trees sprout and other plants bloom
- Watch bumblebees at work in a garden
- Watch the birds
- Watch the clouds
- Take pictures
- Go to a park
- Go to an arboretum
- Go hiking
- Climb a tree
- Walk or run barefoot on the grass
- Hang and lay down in a hammock between the trees
- Feed the ducks
- Smell the flowers (If you don’t have a pollen allergy and if the flowers don’t have insects. Just saying!)
- Pick up a bouquet of fresh flowers
🌻 Take advantage of the weather to:
- Listen to the rain
- Seek out a rainbow
- Play in the rain
- Cultivate a garden with herbs and flowers (it can also be done in pots)
- Open the windows and let the spring breeze in
- Do “spring cleaning” (declutter and deep clean)
- Sort out your spring wardrobe
- Play a sport you like
- Ride a bike
- Have dinner outside
- Read a book outside
- Study/do homework outside
🌻 Take advantage of food to:
- Try a new fruit
- Pick strawberries
- Bake a seasonal pie
🌻 Take advantage of your abilities to:
- Make clay pots and paint them
- Make and fly a kite
- Draw nature
- Learn a new skill
🌻 Take advantage of the events to:
- Go to art shows and festivals
- Go to music festivals
- Go to food festivals
- Go to a garage sale
- Attend the opening day of a baseball game
- Attend the spring program in the library
🌻 Take advantage of your family and/or friends to:
- Go to an egg hunt
- Take a trip
- Have a picnic
- Do things that have already been mentioned above with them!
I think we have a lot to fill one spring, don’t you think? I believe these cater to different personalities, from those who like to go out and enjoy nature to those who prefer a quieter, indoor routine.
One last tip: enjoy yourself! I know things are busy, but take time to enjoy the season and renew your energy.
Happy Spring-ing and see you in the next post!
I really like Spring! I have so many more colors to camouflage myself with!
