Weekly Challenge: Spring

Ahhh, the sweet smell of spring.  It evokes so many emotions, and if you are from the North, elation just may be one of them!  However, we are experiencing a rocky start to spring here in Minnesota. Since the first day of spring, it has snowed not once, but twice!  Yikes.  So today, I'm channeling my inner elation regarding spring.

What does spring mean to you?  Do you gather with neighbors and friends daily and play catch up? Do you begin to see flowers poking out of the ground?  Do you experience longer days and dirty feet?  Show us for this week's challenge.  We want to see your interpretation of the word!

For me, spring signifies new life, a new beginning, freshness and hope.  The blooming of flowers brighten my day and make me happy.  Show us what spring means to you.
