Although the title is a misnomer compared to the rest of the U.S. (even Florida had a cold spell while we were up to 76 in some parts of the state), I’ve been in a rut of sad, wintry grey-blahs.
So I will be taking five to remind myself that some fun spring things are right around the corner.

3. Making plans for adventures

Peppered Thought 
I like your five reasons. I was thinking about this for a while and came up with these in no particular order.
1.) Home Stretch – Spring Break! After of which reminds me there’s only about 6 weeks of school afterward.
2.) Playoffs Baby – I am assuming the Suns will make the playoffs (once we figure out how to keep leads).
3.) Shorts – I like shorts a lot. I also like having tan legs and tan lines on my feet from wearing flip flops.
4.) Windows down – This may not apply as much here the 602, but when I lived in Oklahoma, I LOVED being able to drive with the windows down. Letting my hair blow around, when I had longer hair of course. I also enjoyed blasting some music that no one would enjoy. I don’t know how many times I blasted The Mars Volta next to a group of people listening to the most popular hip-hop song of the week.
5.) Water etc – Lakes. BBQs. Beer. Boats. Kites. And most importantly all together such as: Drinking a beer on a boat that is on the lake. In my other hand I am flying a kite. Head back to the beach to eat a delicious burger.
