I feel like spring is holding back just a bit. Waiting for something.
So I feel like it's my duty to call it forth. Here are a couple ideas I came up with to usher spring in quickly:
1. Dress like it's 70 degrees instead of 30. If spring sees that you're ready, it will feel more ready.
2. Ignore the snow. Pretend it doesn't exist. In fact, only acknowledge the melting snow. When you see the water, exclaim, "Spring showers bring May flowers!" and gesture grandly with an umbrella.
3. If you should see a bud on a tree or in the ground, get up really close to it and whisper words of encouragement. Its bravery should be applauded.
4. Eat spring-ish things. Like ice cream cones. Or watermelon. And eat them outside so spring will notice that you are heating up with or without it.
5. Say "Spring has sprung!" loudly and often.
6. Organize a game of frisbee or tag outside. Happy feet running on top of the ground will stimulate grass growth.
7. Avoid "Negative Nancys" who spread cold and gloom everywhere they go. You don't need people around you who believe that spring will never come.
8. Each morning, do the dance of spring. This is different for everybody, but for me it involves mostly skipping.
9. Plant fake flowers outside in the snow. This will encourage real flowers to bloom.
10. Put on your sunglasses and prepare for spring!
