This picture is how I feel whenever I think about being outside in t

he sun and all of nature's beauty. 

I can't imagine what my life would be like if I lived somewhere without different seasons. 

I mean, I can imagine, but I don't know that I would enjoy it as much as I do experiencing the beauty of all four of them. I cannot say that I truly like one more than another. Yes, the warmth is always more convenient, but I absolutely love waking up to peer out my window, covered in frost and seeing snow stop the trees, blanketing the ground, and squirrels running for shelter as the sky dumps large white chunks down to the earth. If I could personify precipitation, I think I would say that there are little children playing in the clouds with icing and having a food fight and all of the icing that doesn't land on the children lands on our ground. How much more enjoyable would mother nature be viewed as if we made silly stories about her all the time? 

Out of the Ordinary 

My recent obsession has been funky jewelry. Rather than my usual interesting color 

palette of my clothes and patterned tops, I have recently been toning down with solids 

and accenting with earrings and necklaces. I feel like with the seasons, we can always welcome something new and different. As my surroundings begin to change, I feel the urge to welcome new things into my wardrobe, as well as my life. The warmth calls for a change in wardrobe, the allowance of windows down in the car, which then calls for loud music pouring out of the speakers. The beach brings along beautiful sun-kissed skin, which is wonderful until over done, and gives the ocean some attention after a long break period during the desolate winter. So, spunk up your style with the season if you dare to be adventurous and flow with the flowers, grow with the green, and delve into dreams. Maybe that was a little extreme, but I get all antsy when I talk about what I love.
