Yesterday was the Spring Equinox so it is now officially Spring people!

I am so excited. Even more so because with the equinox came such beautiful weather here in Antwerp. Sitting outside, enjoying the sun as you’re reading a bit is pretty much my idea of heaven these days.

What are you doing during these first Spring days?

One of the things I love most with the weather softening and the sun shining more often is being able to spend more time outdoors without freezing off my fingers.

As I need to catch up with my 2012 reading challenge I think that reading out of doors will be one of my favourite activities this spring. I’m two books behind schedule but I blame the 800+ pages of The Crimson Petal and The White for that. Good book though. As of yesterday I’ve started on Eragon. It’s been highly recommended by my bestie so we’ll see what I think.

In the meantime I suggest that all you book-lovers check out Casee’s new book blog Literary Inklings. Great reviews in that fabulous writing voice of hers? Yes please!

Are there any books you’d like to read this spring? Any recommendations?

Even though it’s become colder again here in Belgium I’m now full-on yearning for spring. Not much better than some sun, the fragrant scent of a nice bunch of flowers and picnics outside.

I only have class this afternoon so once I finish this post I’ll go grocery shopping and I might just pick up a bunch of lovely tulips. Sometimes all my room needs is a fresh burst of colour.

And we’re back to business. I was having some hosting troubles which as of this morning have all been sorted so now I’m back to the order of the day: posting.

Spring is creeping up on me. The weather has been milder over the past couple of days and I’ve caught myself yearning for green trees, flowers and sundresses with a pretty cardigan.

I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to have lunch outside with my friends, soaking up the sunshine.

What are you looking forward to? Is spring in the air where you live?
