Seven things to enjoy about spring
1. Walks
Whether it’s in the morning or at night, with a friend or alone, walks can help clear your mind and help you unwind.
2. Thunderstorms
It may be the small town kid in me, but nothing is more relaxing than watching a storm roll in.
3. Picnics
Call your friends, grab some Mister Smiths and head down to the Vermillion River for a picnic.
4. The Beach
Verm Beach might not be one of the fancy beaches you’d find on the East or West coast, but it has sand and it’s by a river so it’s pretty much the same thing.
5. Kites
They’re like $5 at Walmart and they offer hours of fun. You’re never too old to fly one. With the South Dakotan wind at your back, you’re sure to have a great time.
6. The stars
Grab a blanket and head out to a field. Spring weather is the perfect weather to go stargazing. Both the Lyrids Meteor Shower and the Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower happen within the next two months.
7. Emerging life
Everything is coming to life after the long winter. The trees are getting their leaves, the flowers are blooming and baby robins are hatching.
