One of my favorite things in life is the changing of seasons.
No, really…it’s in my top five.
To me, the way that the weather and nature transforms four times a year (depending on your location, at least) is such a beautiful indicator of God’s personality and…artistry.
The only thing better than the change of scenery is the symbolic significance of the seasons. And, while autumn will always be my saison de choix, spring holds some of that same symbolism.
So here’s to change.
Here’s to new beginnings.
Here’s to new adventures.
Here’s to life in bloom.
Here’s to picnics!
Here’s to sundresses, rompers, and all things floral.
Here’s to beauty that emerges out of the tough times.
Here’s to placing hopeful trust in a God that redeems, renews, and authors each and every season.

What’s your favorite thing about the onset of spring?
I LOVE PICNICS!!! oh my gosh you just got me even more excited about spring 😀 :D… honestly my favorite thing is running outside!!!! so so beautiful!
My favorite thing about spring is getting outside to enjoy the beautiful weather!
My favorite thing about the beginning of spring is hearing the birds again in the morning and smelling the dew on the grass. Puts me in a great mood!!
learnnnnnnnnn to credit
Hi Alex -
The links to where I found the photos are at the bottom of the post. Granted, they don’t seem to be credited there either, but it would be pretty difficult to track them down all the way to the source. I do always make it a point to credit the best I can, so if you have any suggestions, I really would appreciate them!
Gracie, I love this post! My favorite thing about the spring is getting to go on nightly walks with the hubby to catch up on our days!
I LOVE the last line of your post! God DOES redeem, renew, and author each season!
aww Gracie what a fabulous post to start the week
your blog always puts a smile on my face! i love how it stays lighter out in the spring and i can enjoy the day more! hope you have a great monday dear! xo
I love spring because it’s the start of having more daylight, and I like being able to go outside without wearing tons of layers!
What a cute post
I love riding my horse in the sun - it’s the best, so relaxing.
Btw- those shoes in the last picture…ohemgee!
Yay spring!! The mention of a picnic makes me want to have one in Central Park
I’m most excited about sundresses. I’m soooo sick of pants, and can’t wait to just throw on a single item of clothing before leaving the house, instead of layering up!!
“Here’s to beauty that emerges out of the tough times.”
Love this quote.
I know it’s supposed to be applied to the change in the weather. But I’m currently going through some stressful events, so I’m going to write this one down everywhere and keep repeating it to myself. Thanks Gracie.
I totally agree, I love those photos, and I want those shoes!

I’m excited to wear sundresses and to go for walks and not freeze my bum off. I love early mornings in the spring, when everything is quiet and it’s nice and sunny and smells fresh (I love the smell of spring!). It’s my favorite time to go for a walk
I love that it stays light out longer, that I can wear peep-toes, sundresses and bright colors. I also love seeing the flowers starting to bloom. It’s beautiful!
I just love how much warmer it begins to be, but I mostly love the happy mood it puts everyone in
I was excited for Spring, until I woke up to snow this morning! Yuck!!!!!!

I grew up/ lived in south Texas for 20+ yrs so I was only familiar w/ cool and HOT. Don’t get me wrong I’m a huge fan of the heat but now that I live in the top half of the US it’s been nice experiencing the changing of the seasons! Have a good start to your wk!
Katie : )
I love that the days are longer, and its warm enough to go out in the evening! I love taking long walks, and summer drinks!
Sandal season and right purses.
Spring/Summer is my favorite time of year! I love the sunshine, the warmth, the feeling of renewal and vigor for life that seems to emanate from everywhere. Love love love it.
I love the change of seasons too.
And I LOVE spring! I love the new flowers, blooms, green grass again, the warmer weather, and just that feeling of excitement and hope that it always brings!

I LOVE Spring! I love picnics, the sunshine, the longer days, the pleasant weather, the sound of birds in the morning…
Beautiful post! Love it!
I think my favorite thing about spring is the mood change… seriously EVERYONE seems to be in much better moods, myself included
Hope you’re off to a good week!
Oh gosh, my favorite thing about spring is the warmer weather, cherry blossoms, and daylight in the afternoon! 😉
love this post!
Longer days.
And those shoes…
Spring is my favorite season, of all time. There is nothing like the snow melting, flip flops, a fresh spring dress, and the smell in the air when the flowers start to bloom. I love running, biking, walking, and hiking outside! And NOT HAVING TO WEAR PANTS
I love those shoes…ohhhhh,soooo pretty!
Fave thing about spring = longer days!!!
I love the smell of the crisp air.
I love spring because it means longer and sunnier days…with more outdoor adventures!!

Spring is so beautiful! Fall is my absolute favorite though 😀
Jessica says
Hi! I just stumbled upon your blog. It’s lovely. What I’d like mine to be about.
I love the burst of colors and flowers blossoming. The blue clear skies and crisp air is always welcome
Natalie says
Hey there! Just stumbled upon your site, and boy did it ever come at the right time for me! I added your posts to my feed… so I’ll be around! <3
This post has managed to make me even MORE excited for spring! 😀 Even though it means the start of exams (boo!) it also means the start of a 4 months summer at home!
I also love how flowers start to bloom, being able to run outside again, and the warm feeling of the sun on my skin. <3
I love the ability to wear sundresses, skirts and strappy sandals…the fresh fruit in abundance…and of course the awesome running weather!
love spring and love those shoes!
Chilling outside between classes- I love it! That, and Spring is the perfect horseback riding weather.
Those shoes are so cute! My favorite thing about spring is all the flowers. I really see it as a time to show off your feminine side!
i love spring for its colors- in food, fashion and in nature
Beth says
My favorite thing is the temperature and sun combo. I am fair skinned and get burned really easily not to mention sun poisoning too when exposed to hot sun for long amounts of time. So spring is my time to sit out and enjoy the sunshine without fear of getting sick and hurt after.
YYLady says
Well said! Spring reminds me of birthdays (yay for March babies!) and picnics, but also sunshine and hope for the end of the semester!
Thank you for a lovely post. Sometimes beautiful pictures are what a girl needs…
warmer temperatures and having the sun set at 7:30 instead of 5:00 is incredible.
it’s like a revival of heart happens to me every year when spring arrives!

I kind of hate spring (rainy and cold a lot of the time + the end of ski season), but I couldn’t help but smile a little when I noticed for the first time today that the buds had appeared on the Maple outside our living room window. There is hope!
Awesome pictures! I love the seasons and what they teach us. Here’s my view on them: http://counselormusings.blogspot.com/2011/03/why-im-not-complaining-right-now.html

Hey Gracie. I am a sophomore in college, and I just have to say I love the fact that you don’t hide your faith, even though not everyone holds the same beliefs. It is pretty much impossible to please everyone. I am getting baptized this Sunday, and life is so much better with a little faith. Thanks for the amazing posts!
Kate - this comment means more to me than you know. THANK YOU!
xoxo

Shape here is not only girl’s thing but boys are also abundantly dressed up. They mostly make straight up like male models from magazine as well. It’s a service turn|kind office|benefit} for a guy because they can have heaps of comely outfits and don’t be accused for that as they might have if they have life in some other countries. Whether they are big sunglasses, unclouded-leather shoes or brand name bags, Hong Kong guys go for it all.
