“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”
Margaret Atwood
 
Spring is my favorite season.
The lilacs are beginning to blossom, green pea shoots are pushing through the earth, and warm light is stretching into longer days. Spring invites us outdoors, not just to play but to notice, to delight, and to learn. 🌼
