Spring has sprung

When it was time to spring forward a couple weeks ago, some people were unhappy because they lost an hour of sleep, and felt like the time should just always say the same because it’s too much of a hassle to adjust to the change. Other people were happy because they gained an extra hour of daylight. Still others don’t even notice the time change at all. We sprang forward on March 14, but spring officially started on March 20.

Although we had had some sun-shiny and warm days before that, it really has felt like spring the last week or so. The air has been cooler, there has been some rain, and the grass is starting to green up all around us. When we stop to really think about it, we are impacted more by the sunlight and weather in the world around us than we think. So, how are you affected by your surroundings, and what are you looking forward to doing as the outside gets more inviting?
