With the spring season starting this upcoming March 20 in the Northern Hemisphere, there are a lot of things to look forward to. Birds and bees are going to be fluttering around again and spring flowers are going to start blossoming. Here’s a list of some of the best things about spring to get excited about!
1. Going outside more
After months of cold and snow, the arrival of spring brings warmer weather and fresh breeze, which make it the perfect time to go outside. Whether it’s walking in the park, having a picnic or enjoying the sunshine, spring motivates more outdoor activities.
2. Longer days and more sunlight
Daylight savings begins on March 9 this year, meaning we’re moving our clocks forward by one hour. While we may lose an hour of sleep, we gain extra hours of sun. Sunsets at 7pm. are coming back, making days longer.
3. It’s almost summer
Once spring comes around, it’s almost like it brings a memory of summer in the air. As temperatures begin rising, it serves as a reminder that beach days and vacation are just around the corner.
4. Spring break
Spring break is one of the best parts of the season. Whether you’re staying home enjoying the nicer weather or traveling to a warmer destination, this week-long break is a much-needed chance to relax while taking advantage of the pleasant weather.
5. Hiking
The milder weather makes it possible for outdoor activities to happen more often. Hiking is a great way of taking in the beauty of spring, whether with friends and family or on a solo adventure. The fresh breeze of spring and the blooming landscapes create the perfect scenery to reconnect with nature.
6. Fruit
Thanks to the April showers a lot of fruits start to grow. Seasonal products are not only good for your health but also for the planet. Fruits like strawberries, cherries, blueberries and kiwis will be fresher, tastier and more affordable.
7. Flowers
Blooming flowers are a sure sign that spring has arrived. Parks, gardens and hillsides get covered in colourful, fresh and fragrance-full beautiful flowers, creating dreamy landscapes.
No matter how you enjoy the season, there’s something special about nature coming back to life, bringing with it more adventures and aesthetic views.
