If anyone asked me what my favorite time of the year is, regardless of holidays or work and school committments, I would say spring without a second thought.
When the sun shines bright and the weather starts to warm up just a tiny bit, the air outside is crisp and comfortable. All of the thick and cumbersome winter clothing gets shed from your body and you can walk outside with a t-shirt and blue jeans on and feel refreshed and comfortable. Just taking a walk in cool spring air while you watch all of the green sprout up from the gray landscape is enough to put a smile on even the grumpiest person’s face. When you are home, you can turn off the furnace until October rolls around again later in the year. And since summer weather is still weeks away, you don’t have to worry about running the air conditioner either. I like to open windows all throughout my house with my ceiling fans running on low to gently push the cool air around each room to eliminate any natural dead spots. If there’s ever a day where the breeze is dead outside, you can put box fans inside the window sills to pull the cool air inside, simply by positioning the fan in the right direction. There are rarely any days until early May where I would ever think about turning my central air conditioner on, let alone run it for several days at a time. If I am ever forced to move down south where the average daily highs are in the mid to upper 80s this time of the year, I don’t know how I’ll manage other than using an air conditioner.
