    Living in the tropics means we don't have the distinct change of season but I am pleased to see the back of the monsoon - rain every day is not my joy! A long stretch of hot, humid days lies before me and I can't wait to embrace it!

    As a Florida resident, I'm not looking forward to the weather getting hotter. But I am excited to watch my new grandson learn to crawl, walk, and talk by the time it gets cool again.

    I am excited to see the world burst into color again. It's been a bit of a grey/brown/white winter here.

    I'm excited to sit on the bleachers of my son's baseball games. To me, summer is baseball. I also strangely love watering my flowers with a hose. I could stand there all day. (I'm a little odd)

    Most would envy my steady year-round 80-degree weather, but oh how I'd love to welcome that first warm spring day or that first chilly fall one!

    I look forward to being able to open the windows to let the fresh air in and the stale air out.

    Mini albums are my favorite! I love when my kids pick them up randomly around the house and it starts a conversation. Sharing a few laughs, remembering silly things, and knowing I am almost always going to hear some random secret I have not heard before. Spring and Fall are in competition for me with favorite season changes. I love the fresh of Spring, and feeling like I get a do-over every year with sprucing up the house and moving things around. Fall makes me want to get things comfy cozy for all those nights by the fire, and prepare for the battles of family game nights. Thank you for the opportunity and the links to check out!

    There are many things I'm excited to see as the spring tempatures warm us. These are my favorites: the birds return from their "winter vacations", the earth spring forth in all shades of green with a promise for colorful flowers, my second garden box being built and filled with endless possibilities of seeds to later harvest this summer. Thanks for the chance for such a great give away :)

    I am most excited to walk around the neighborhood in the evenings, smelling the food on the grill, watching the kids play catch,and chatting with neighbors as we stay outside longer and longer. New babies are born, some got older and are walking, and there is always a sense of community and fellowship!

    My son turning one, and going on walks with us where he doesn't have to be carried the whole way. I know he will love the outdoors as much as his sister, especially when he can experience it at ground level!
