Spring Rituals; A Listicle

I enjoy writing listicles in my notebook. On a particularly grey day I decided to write one about about spring rituals that I look forward to each year. Spring is almost here and these are just a few of the many things I am looking forward to. What spring rituals are on your wish list?

 

 

• Flower picking

 

 

• Changing out the winter sheets and bedding for lighter spring blankets

 

• Making a spring reading list

 

• Opening the window a crack to let in the fresh air

 

• Picking out seeds for your vegetable or flower gardens

 

• Planting the seeds for the garden and watching them grow a little each day

 

• Spring cleaning all the hidden corners, closets and drawers

 

• Morning walks in the spring sunshine

• Coloring Easter eggs

 

• Picking dandelions to dry for dandelion tea or homemade dandelion oil

 

• Making flower crowns

 

• Brining out your spring wardrobe from the closet and donating the clothes that you no longer need
