Spring finally arriving is celebrated like a holiday in the Midwest. As soon as the temperature hits anything above 45 degrees, everything changes. There are certain tell-tale signs that spring is in bloom in the Midwest, and we all religiously go through the motions each year.
1. Once you pull out your shorts and tank tops, there’s no going back.
2. You deny that the weather is cold because you don’t want to go back to winter again.
3. When warm weather finally arrives, you spend as much time as possible outside enjoying it.
4. Even though 45 degrees was cold in October, it’s now as if you haven’t felt the warmth of the sun in years.
5. Speaking of the sun, you’re probably seeing it for the first time since December.
6. The grass finally turns green, and everything is beautiful again.
