Spring is when we all get out of the dungeons we usually inhabit, get some real air in our lungs, and rediscover the sun. We get outside! Yeeeehai!
It’s almost like we’re back from the dead, only not quite as extreme. Don’t mix it up with being undead either, that’s something entirely different. Spring isn’t about being staked inside your coffin, it’s about flowers popping out of the ground, trees leafing out, and people getting exercise outside.
Spring is the window to the soul of Summer. Without Spring, Winter and Summer would have a very strange relationship. Spring is the linking element between snow and heat.
With Spring, we all see the days growing longer. Our pets seem to sense the difference too. Does your dog play more in the Spring than in Winter? Does your cat find more window-shaped spaces in the house to nap in when Spring comes around?
You really know the change of weather is affecting people when your local car wash starts giving away free car washes. Of course, nothing is truly free in the business world. They either want you to give up some of your personal information, like a phone number in exchange for that free car wash, or they want you to buy a punch pass. “Buy ten, get one free,” they tell you.
If it’s really Spring, and you don’t like their gimmicks, just go home and wash your car with the garden hose and a bucket. Wash your car in the yard and water the plants at the same time.
One other thing you may notice is that a whole lot of people will be talking about it. Spring is the hottest topic of all time. We love talking about the weather anyway, but when Spring comes around, there’s no stopping us. Talk about it, play in it, even get your dog out in it—it’s Spring!
