Hmmm … nothing
more delicious than a rejuvenation of life! Welcome to the Spring Fling Blog
Hop, which was perfect timing since today’s also the release of my new erotic
paranormal romance, Her Wolf Ménage.
There’s a
reason why the Spring Equinox was chosen as release day. The “Spring Awakening”
plays a role in the novel. If you have time, join my FB party on
Thursday, March 20, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. PST for additional fun.
To celebrate,
here are the top 5 things I love about Spring:
5). The
daffodils – With our warmer temperatures, they’ve already started to bloom.
4). The
weather – People think of SoCal as being hot all year round. For us, it
definitely gets cold in the winter. Often, we refer to the June Gloom with its overcast
murky skies. But spring is perfect.
3). Monarch
butterflies – They are pure magic, and a sign that fairies exist. We plant
milkweed, which attracts the Monarch caterpillars, so spring equals flying
beauty.
2). Spring
break – Do you remember that feeling? Having a full week off from school, when
you don’t have to think about anything? Oh, it’s bliss. It’s not too bad as a
professor, either. (And students think we live to be on campus 24/7. BTW, I
like working with students. I’m not one of those jaded professors. But home
time is good, too).
1). Making out
in the park or on the beach or under the boardwalk – How come as adults, we don’t
seem to make out in the public quite as much anymore? Oh, maybe because we have
homes (privacy).

Love your list, Louisa! I'd love to make out under a boardwalk during Spring Break, surrounded by flowers and butterflies. *happy sigh* But my favorite thing about spring is the way the air smells...not quite like flowers, but definitely lighter and sweeter than in winter. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!

Spring means snow drops coming out, the sun shinning for longer in the day time and a feeling of joy that spring is finally here.
ReplyDeleteShirleyAnn@speakman40.freeserve.co.uk
For me, Spring means seeing the green grass shoots pushing through the ground, the flowers in my garden opening up with their myriad of colors and being able to sit on my deck and soak up some rays. Being able to go outside without being bundled up to the gills and finally my car being free of salt and dirt. Thank you so much for participating in this Hop. I love finding new authors each and every time.

My favorite thing about spring - nature's changes. The weather is warmer, birds are chirping, and the trees have leaves. My favorite spring time activity is reading on my front porch.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the giveaway. Fingers crossed to win.
Happy Spring!

I live in Fl, so we don't really have a spring season. When I was younger and lived up north, it was the smell and the flowers blooming. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your reasons!

Tina -- You were the official winner. I'm going to email you shortly to arrange delivery!
DeleteThank you so much, Louisa!
DeleteWe don't have spring here in the Philippines, where we enjoy tropical climate. But I do love spring, because many people enjoy it and feel rejuvenated. Spring comes, and suddenly everyone is so lively. It's a season that brings colour and life and a promise of great things. Like my winning this giveaway. And you will want me to win. Because you get to keep the cookies. (Haha. I'm kidding. Kinda.)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely giveaway. Happy Spring!
