How do you define “Spring” cozy?

 When Spring finally arrives, as it has here in the South, we have just a few weeks before the pollen sets in to open all of the windows and whole-heartedly let the sunshine in.

I have seen so many pretty pictures on your blogs showing all of your pretty Spring makeovers, but sometimes I like to put what I feel into words.

Fall and Winter have a different type of cozy feeling, like wool blankets, and roaring fires. Well, it’s high time we celebrate Spring coziness! How do I define Spring cozy?

A beautiful chaise lounge next to an open window with the shears blowing in the breeze…

Sipping a tall glass of raspberry iced tea…

Lemon Verbena Iced Tea

Fresh flowers in the kitchen…

Dining outdoors…

And dreaming of summer to come.

No, he’s not mine. If he were mine the chairs would have no fabric.

How do you define Spring cozy?

Ok - I love your version of spring! I usually give the house a deep cleaning, put out some fresh flowers, and start thinking about my patio and garden. Ahhh, spring...

Hello Misti...

Just wanted to stop by to say thank you for visiting my blog today and for your sweet comments!

Oooh...what gorgeous Spring Cozy photos...I think you did a marvelous job with describing the coziness of Spring!!! Spring cozy to me is...sitting out on my porch swing with my honey on a Spring evening...it's just cool enough that you need a sweater, a blanket, or best of all...my honey's arm around me!!!

Warmest wishes,
Chari

Open windows and the breeze coming in, definitely.

Spring cozy for me is being able to sit on my front porch rocking chair, waiting to greet my kids as they get off the bus, taking the dog for a walk to the park around the corner and being indoors while there's a great thunderstorm going on outside in April!!!

What a great post!!! You have me thinking of my "spring cozy" list. It wouldn't be too different from yours. :)

I'm ringing in spring time cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I recently did my pantry. I have posted about that yet, but I will. I loved the white chaise in the photo.

Okay, I looooooooooove that first picture. That is how I define perfection!

For me, spring is defined by open windows, sunshine, spring cleaning, ice tea, playing outdoors, eating dinner on the patio {which I'm working towards} and pretty flowers.

Love that chair also the outside. Would love to have an outside like that. But the bugs eat me up. Miss my screen porch!!

That sums it up pretty well. My favorite season is almost here to stay.

I love all of your pictures! I can't pick a favorite. Well, if pressed I'm sure I would go with the Dog.

We hardly get a Spring here...it's like cold, then it's 85 degrees in a couple of weeks, so to us, Spring means beaches and barbecues. I love it nonetheless!

Have a great day!

Spring - just that. Right now everything we do we do with a little more pep (srping in our step). I love that about spring.
