As soon as the daffodils in my front yard start to bloom, I know spring is just around the corner. Living in Southern California, we are blessed with wonderful weather practically year round, but springtime is especially perfect. The sun is out, and there\u2019s a slight breeze. Everywhere you look bright flowers are sprinkled around like confetti. Here are my favorite ways to welcome spring\u2019s arrival…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Buy some tulips. Is there any flower that reminds you of spring more than
\ntulips? I like to purchase a small bouquet at the grocery store as soon as I
\nknow springtime is near.<\/p>\n
2. Hang out on a patio. A lot of the craft breweries near us have patios, so I like
\nto call a couple friends, pack up some snacks, and grab a drink in the
\nsunshine.<\/p>\n
3. Plant wildflowers. We have a couple wine-barrel planters in our backyard
\nthat turn into a mess during the winter. I like to clean them out, fill them with
\nfresh soil, and sprinkle wildflower seeds all around. I never know what\u2019s
\ngoing to bloom, and that\u2019s part of the fun.<\/p>\n
4. Paint my toes a fun color. Once the weather gets warmer, I trade my boots for
\nsandals. I like to choose a bright, fun shade to paint my toes because I love
\nlooking down and seeing a pop of color.<\/p>\n
5. Get a new floral dress. I\u2019ve done this a number of ways. I\u2019ve shopped at a
\nthrift store, swapped dresses with friends, and purchased a new one. I just
\nlike adding a fresh floral print to my wardrobe.<\/p>\n
