Spring Begins

It's around this time of year that us Canadians start to itch for warmer weather and longer days. The sun begins to shine a bit brighter, the snow starts to melt, and even the air feels new. Unfortunately, this is usually a transition that takes weeks upon weeks and we end up enduring more cold and snow. But there's something about this time that makes everyone stand a little taller and smile a bit more. Each new sign of spring is a marker of what's to come and you can't help but get excited for all those things you've been without for months. So while I'll always be a big fan of winter, I'm ready to welcome spring and some things I've missed throughout this (ridiculously) cold winter.
