This morning I heard birds for the first time in what feels like forever. I know we have a little ways to go before Spring officially arrives but it is slowly making its way here. (The high is 62 on Thursday!) It has become somewhat of a tradition for us to walk to the beach at the end of our street at the first weather break. (Ok, so the 'beach' is actually Lake Michigan but it has sand and small waves so it's a beach to me.) On the way, we stop at Starbucks for a green tea frappuccino and meander along the sidewalks and the sand, dreaming of the wonderful Chicago summer to come. I can't wait for that moment and hope it comes sooner than later this year. I. am. ready!
Do you have any 'welcome spring' traditions?
P.S. I love that all my magazines this month have a Spring feel on the cover, so sweet and colorful!
oh, beautiful! ..a little envy, haha! ;) still cold and gloomy/rainy over here..no signs of spring, yet! ;( xoxo

I heard birds this morning too. I had to stop and make sure I wasn't actually hearing things. It was wonderful. Welcome spring! Chicago has missed you!
ReplyDeleteI heard Canada Geese this past weekend for the first time and then saw one yesterday- I guess they are moving back up.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Chicago too!!! How exciting :) Your blog is ah-mazing!
ReplyDeletei put away all my winter clothes- bring on spring!
ReplyDeleteI have the windows open right now! The cat is more than stoked about that! WE don't have any traditions for spring, but I try to get out as much as possible with walks and stuff. It makes me so happy that it's this nice out!
ReplyDeletepretty picture! don't you just love spring?
ReplyDeletein greece yesterday the air smelled like wildflowers and wet soil, it reminded me of my childhood!
Tiffany - that sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteLucky girl! As the spring reaches you guys, the cold is creaping up in South America.... today is the first day I wear pants in 4 months.... sad sad day!
ReplyDeleteI really need to visit Chicago and Green Tea Frappuccino ...I must try this.
ReplyDeleteHorray for spring! While SF has a single surprising season, my Lilly Pulitzers are always a bit of a warm weather milestone!
ReplyDeleteSo glad spring is getting here!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I so miss Chicago. I never got to spend much time in the city, mostly the suburbs. It's such a beautiful place in the summer, though!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo-seems like Spring is just a bird call away!
ReplyDeleteohhh your Spring beginning makes me jealous, I love the Lake Michigan shot! Honestly, Lake Michigan seems every bit an ocean, it totally crashes like one and sounds like one. I am so excited for Spring too, we had a hot streak weather wise last week and now it's rainy again.. I hope that lifts soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is SUCH a sweet tradition!! We are having some beautiful weather down south...sunny and warm! Absolutely loving it!
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to have more spring traditions!
