Spring Color at the Hershey Gardens Via Leslie Reese (5)I love living in an area where we can fully experience all four seasons and the beauty that comes with each one. I look forward to spring every year and the color that pops out from every corner of the earth. It's such a beautiful time of year. My neighborhood is lined with flowering pear trees and they are breathtaking when they are in full bloom. We have had some  gorgeous weather in the last couple of weeks so I decided to head over to the Hershey Gardens to wander around and see what else is blooming. I snapped a few photos as I walked around and although they are far from professional, I wanted to share my favorites with you. Happy Friday!

Remember to take time each day to look around and enjoy the little things. In a world where there are so many sad things going on and people are hurting, it's those little things that matter. Don't take them for granted and be thankful for each day!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Favorite-Things-Spring (2)Each time a season changes, we are reminded of how quickly life moves and how important it is to stop and pay attention to the little things around us. This week we welcomed spring and although there is still a chill in the air where I live, there are some definite signs winter is slowly moving out. If you look around, you'll notice that things are starting to come alive.  There are buds on the trees, the birds are singing and the flowers are peeking out of the ground. Spring is another opportunity to reflect, make changes and look forward to the many wonderful things ahead. Today I thought I would share some of the little things I've been noticing as spring begins. Happy Friday!

Favorite-Things-SpringAlthough it seems to be a myth, robins have always been considered a sign that spring has arrived.

Favorite-Things-Spring (1)As the tulips start to rise, I look forward to the color that will be scattered throughout my flower beds.

Favorite-Things-Spring (3) Pansies are one of my favorite flowers. They are hearty enough to stand up to the last of the cold weather so they are the first flowers I plant each spring.

Favorite-Things-Spring-RabbitI love to see rabbits wandering around the yard, another sign that spring is here.

Favorite-Things-Spring - CopyOne of my favorite signs of spring is when the pussy willows start to bloom. Their soft fuzzy buds are such a perfect announcement of the new season.

We are in a transition right now and it's a beautiful thing to watch. Enjoy all of the little things spring has to offer because before you know it, they'll be gone. Life moves fast, don't miss it!

Have a wonderful weekend!
