Itching for spring.....

Don't get me wrong. I love the wintertime. The peacefulness after a new fallen snow, the contrast between the dark, barren trees and the pristine white of the snow and of course what I like to call the "snowglobe effect". (This happens when you are staring out a window and the big, fluffy snowflakes start falling and suddenly you feel like you are in a giant snowglobe that someone just picked up and shook)
But I am ready for spring! I have been packaging seeds for work, getting ideas for ones I want to get started for the gardens, getting garden catalogs in the mail and seeing all the "springy" stuff in the stores. Mind you, I'm not going to rush out and buy a swimsuit as soon as I see them but still, all those bright colors are just an indication of what's around the corner. I'm really excited to watch the flowers begin to poke through the long frozen ground and show their colors to the world. It's one of the reasons I love spring.
I don't have a favorite season because I really love them all. I say I want to move to a beach somewhere when I get older but I don't think I could miss out on the beautiful changing of the seasons here in Indiana. Granted sometimes the seasons seem to change six times in a week but what would life be like without a little excitement?
As this is posting...we are under a winter weather advisory and the "snowglobe effect" is beautiful :-)
