How are you doing, dear GrayViners? I hope the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming wherever you are.

Do you have a favorite springtime tradition from your childhood? Maybe it was decorating Easter eggs, flying kites, or enjoying a special treat to welcome the season. Do you still keep that tradition alive today, or have you started new ones? Share your answer in the comments below!

As always, I look forward to reading your answers!

This is actually Easter but still Spring. My favorite thing was getting a new dress, new little white shoes and (oh MY) the beautiful Easter bonnets.

Getting outside and playing in the grass in back yard. Helping my mom do gardening. Swinging on the big old iron swing.

It isn’t really a Spring tradition but I couldn’t wait to go out our back door and see the Crocuses blooming in my mother’s flower bed. They were the first sign of Spring. Oh my goodness, such a beautiful site

Planting my flowers. I have a hard time getting around. My daughter and great granddaughter always help me. It is a big event. We have lunch then plant.

I Just love Easter and getting outside in the nice weather! I grew up in Wa state so I'm a country girl! Need my time in nature!

I loved Easter egg hunts that we did. I did this for my niece and nephews when they were younger. What fun I had hiding the eggs for them to find.

Going for walks looking for new growth, or as my Grandmother would say looking for "rebirth."
