Springtime... the good and the bad

I love spring. It reminds me of new life... springing forward to the newness of oneself... Here are some very specifics i loves about the spring...

I love blooming flowers. They are pretty, and i like the way they smell.
Cookouts are a blast. Especially with open fire. I love a roasted marshmallow!
The smell of fresh cut grass. I really love when I am sleeping with my windows open, and the smell of the grass welcomes me as i wake up.
I love the countdown to vacation (although summer is NOT my favorite season... i love vacation). It is very exciting to me to count down... as of today, I have 1 month and 4 days!

 

Things that i do not love so much... 

I am not a fan of mosquitoes (they love me). And they are everywhere. And i hate bug spray just as much.
Ticks.. gross.
Humidity... and around here you can't get away from it.
Spiders.. more than anything i hate spiders. They usually show up more in the fall, but they are here now. And that is scary... i have posted a picture of the spider my friend found and shared with me today... scary...
