Roll out the green carpet

Spring is finally here, although it seems like it took an eternity to arrive. Now Mother Nature is unrolling her green carpet and her colors are exploding in trees and gardens and filling us with joy.

We all have our own ways to make the most of the return to warmer weather. Some of us start by sorting through our closets, a way to fall into step with this season of renewal and transformation. Stores are bursting with the new spring fashions: rainwear, unlined boots, and trendy outﬁts seduce us with their lightweight materials. We sure like to let more vibrant tones take the place of those gloomy winter colors. When spring fever takes told, it’s so hard to resist!

Owners of convertibles waste little time in folding back the roofs of their cars and savoring their newfound freedom, hair flying in the wind. Others head for car dealerships in search of their dream car for exciting summer driving. But most of us just make the most of the warm weather by enjoying the fresh air as we polish our vehicles to a beautiful gleam. No more winter hibernation! Spring fever also hits the restaurants, as patios open and sidewalk cafes fill up at noon. How great it feels to sip a drink in the great outdoors rather than sitting inside with a cup of co�ee and salt-stained snow boots. Even menus change to reflect the arrival of spring, as chefs revel in combining fresh herbs and exotic flavors. However you choose to enjoy the spring sunshine, make the most of it by getting outdoors as much as you can. After the long winter, we certainly deserve to tread on Nature’s green carpet!
