1. Add a rejuvenating mix of spring colors to your home

I can hardly wait for warmer weather. Yesterday the sky cleared and the air felt almost warm, so I opened the windows, blended a few favorite natural home scents, and stepped into the yard to see what was blooming. After a long stretch of windstorms and rain, it felt wonderful to breathe fresh air, refresh the house, and soak up a little vitamin D.

Having moved into this home during autumn, we haven’t yet experienced a full spring and summer here. I’m excited to explore the new yard—one of the reasons we chose this house. The backyard is a lovely size with flowing trees, bulbs, and early blossoms. I’ll share a full yard tour soon, but for now I want to celebrate that spring is on its way.

This post shares six easy ways to enjoy the sights and scents of spring. What are your favorite things about the season?
