Favorite things about March:

* Skiing! - Yep, the weather is still cold enough in the mountains that I can ski. Granted, it isn't really good snow, but I can wear just a jacket and not freeze! Love it!

* Rain - I love that it starts raining again in March. I'm not a huge fan of cold rain, but I love the feeling after a good rainstorm. The air is so fresh and crisp and clean. Love it!

* Picnics - Ok, so I don't know that I have been on a picnic in March, but the weather seems good enough this week that I think I may just have one...

* Fresh start - It seems like in March we get a fresh start on life. With the change of seasons I feel a new desire to be better and work harder.

* Being outside - March is a great month because it snows, rains, shines, and just about everything else. So, We can be outside and enjoy all seasons. I love that somedays I can wear a t-shirt and enjoy the sunshine and then the next week I can play in the snow. Granted, I don't like figuring out what the weather is going to be, but it is kind of fun... I just like the variety of activities. Everything from Skiing and snow games to Volleyball and frisbee.

* New clothes - I love buying spring clothes. After months of wearing delightful sweaters and coats, it is fun to buy short sleeved shirts in bright new colors.

* Flowers! - Flowers finally start blooming in March which is so much fun! I love the tulips and daffodils and dutch Iris' that bloom early in the year. They are so beautiful and such bright colors.

* Photography - along with the flowers and fresh new season there are great opportunities for new photos! It is usually warm enough that I can take outdoor pictures without my hands freezing. The colors are wonderful and crisp. Mmmm... Love it! Even the stormy days are beautiful!
