Spring is finally here! When I say finally, I mean that there are no snow predictions for the upcoming week, lol. We've had about four snowstorms back to back and I, along with others, were afraid that spring wouldn't reach its destination. However, the forecast says otherwise and I really hope it stays that way. I'll miss wearing my sweatpants and boots but I'm so ready for the sun to shine and the flowers to bloom. Below are 15 quotes I chose to bring in the new season.
