Spring!

One thing I have always loved about Spokane, and the Inland Northwest in general, is the definition of four beautiful seasons. While fall is my favorite season (the season of my birth, and my favorite holiday - Thanksgiving), and I love the beautiful, snowy winters we get, spring is absolutely a welcome respite from cold and gray weather.

Now that we've sprung forward, the days are getting longer and the sun has been shining. It seems like we've had the longest, hardest winters the past two years. So to finally see the end of snow and rain is a relief.

My favorite part about spring in Spokane has changed as I've grown older, from feeding the ducks at Manito Park as a kid, to the baseball games at Gonzaga now that I'm a student, I have a feeling spring in Spokane will always be cause for a sunny attitude, to match the weather. Now it's just time to get my bike all tuned up and do some spring cleaning in my apartment...
