With the coming of spring brings back the opportunity to enjoy things we haven’t for a while, Molly Grandel is particularly excited to get back outdoors.

“I have missed being able to enjoy the warmth and sun. Winter has been super cold this year and I have not been able to enjoy being outside one bit. I can’t wait to just be outside and it not be bitterly cold,” says Grandel. Winters in Pennsylvania keep us from going outdoors a lot and we begin to feel bored constantly doing indoor activities. It is nice that we can finally get back outside.

Spring brings back many activities we have not been able to do for a while due to the weather. For one, just being outside in enjoyable temperatures. It gives us the chance to do activities like gardening, walking outside, and any outdoor activity winter has prohibited. Spring is a happy time for most because often the cold can bring us down. Spring motivates us with warm weather and the knowing that winter is right around the corner.

“I am looking forward to going back outside. I can do things like walking my dog again. I am also looking forward to being able to run on the trail again. Yes, I could do these things in winter but it is cold and miserable. I love doing things outside in the warmth,” says Grandel. Most people could concur that outdoor activities such as running or walking the dog are more enjoyable when it is a little bit warmer.

Like Molly Grandel, many people love spring for the weather that is right in the middle. It is not too cold or not too hot. It gives people the opportunity to just enjoy the outdoors around them. Many look forward to this time of year. It is one of the most popular seasons.
