Today is the First Day of Spring! We celebrate with the Big Blue Crew by talking about how we plan to enjoy the new season!

We shared a list of ideas on how to enjoy this beautiful new season.
1. Watch for the First Robins
Robins are one of the classic signs of spring. Take a few minutes to watch and listen for birds returning after winter.
2. Open the Windows
Let fresh air into your home for the first time in a while. It’s a simple way to refresh your space and welcome the new season.
3. Try a “No Jacket” Walk
If the weather cooperates, enjoy a short walk without a winter coat and appreciate the warmer air.
4. Visit a Farmers Market
Some early markets begin opening in spring. Pick up fresh bread, honey, or early greens.
5. Make a Spring Bucket List
Write down 5–10 things you want to do before summer arrives—festivals, hikes, day trips, or projects.
6. Change Your Seasonal Decor
Swap out winter décor for lighter colors, flowers, or greenery around the house.
7. Take a “Signs of Spring” Photo Challenge
Look for buds, puddles, birds, flowers, or sunshine and take photos of the first signs you see.
8. Make a Bright Spring Meal
Cook something colorful like a salad with fresh greens, strawberries, or citrus.
9. Call Someone You Haven’t Talked to in a While
Spring is about renewal—reach out and reconnect with someone.
10. Read Outside
Even if it’s just for 10 minutes, grab a chair on the porch or sit in the sun with a book or devotional.
🌱 Bonus idea: Write down one thing you want to grow in your life this spring—patience, kindness, faith, creativity, or health—and pray or reflect on that throughout the season.
