This winter has been rough. The cold weather really exacerbated the pandemic as we were all trapped inside. Now, the buds are blooming and the grass is greener; spring and summer are in the near future. This means more time to go outside and enjoy the sun: time to go for a hike, try that new biking trail, or jump off some rocks into the cold swimming hole. This summer will bring back numerous opportunities to explore and thrive even during a pandemic.

To hype yourself up for this nice weather, what better way than to listen to some good tunes that bring back that summer joy. This playlist will feature my favorite songs that evoke the spring and summer vibes to get back out there and have those fun adventures once again.
