I love the changing season and I love to celebrate each of them with their own fresh, local food, flora and yarn-y inspirations. Each season I make a little list of the pleasures I want to soak in. I call them manifestos, but they're really just love letters to the season.
Reading Havi's list of things-to-do-before-she-dies, I realized that these seasonal lists are my own little things-to-do-before-the-moment-passes. And goodness! Spring is nearly gone without a proper love letter.
I hope to keep listing these, every Thursday, as a reminder to soak it in over the weekend (and as a mid-week cheer-up).
This week, Spring is feeling like a great time for:
- Finding floral inspiration
- Eating lots of strawberries
- Making jam
- Starting the garden
- Sorting Easter Egg dyes
- Baking tasty things
I did a few of these things last weekend, I'll be sharing them with you soon!
What do you like to do to celebrate Spring?

Because Florida doesn't have a spring (or a fall for that matter), I don't have a lot of seasonal focus other than not dying of heat.
