What’s your favourite spring tradition?

Michael and Laura Hewitson April 10, 2019 My Next KW Home, News 1503 Views

Getting out for runs is a little easier now: the snow has melted, the temperatures are slowly warming up, and the longer days are all factors.

As for having more time to run, that’s another story for me. Spring is generally a very busy time in the real estate market and this year is no exception. Waterloo Region continues to be a hot spot for people to live and invest. Again this past month, sale prices across Kitchener-Waterloo and area saw an increase.

I know one thing I’m looking forward to is the upcoming holiday weekend and spending some additional time with family and friends. I’m also looking forward to watching my many running friends that will be down in Boston running their hearts out on Patriots day!

My question this month: what is your favourite spring tradition? Could be a long weekend activity or seasonal activity: anything that you look forward to every spring!

I look forward to running without a jacket in the spring. Then (wait for it) I know running in shorts is coming in the near future.
Around the Bay and Waterloo Marathon tell me spring is here.

Trampoline and trails with my two young boys.

Yes! We just got our trampoline set up. I wasn’t expecting snow today!

I haven’t done any gardening in more than 10 years. Getting back at it this year. Raised bed structures built, soil delivery tomorrow. Can’t wait to plant all sorts of vegetables.

Awesome! Sounds like it is going to be a great spring for you!

Chantal April 12, 2019 1:31 am

Always my favourite time of the year to lace up and head out for a run!

Michael and Laura Hewitson April 13, 2019 8:30 pm

Thanks Chantal! Agreed – it is a great time of year to get outdoor runs in.

I look forward to pulling out my bike and hitting the trails each spring. I try to run year round but biking really only works in the warmer temperatures in the rural area I live in.

Michael and Laura Hewitson April 13, 2019 8:29 pm

Thanks Deanne! Any favourite trails you like to do?

Lindsay Howes April 13, 2019 8:03 pm

ATB has become one of my favourite spring running traditions – done 4 in a row now. And also, spring cleaning!!

Michael and Laura Hewitson April 13, 2019 8:29 pm

Thanks Lindsay! ATB is on my list of races to do one day.

Waiting until after a rainy day and then finding a nice muddy trail to run on. It reminds me of how much fun running can be!

Michael and Laura Hewitson April 17, 2019 1:28 pm

Thanks Jena!
I’ll have to try that!!

Emily April 17, 2019 1:22 pm

My favourite spring tradition is going to the local greenhouse with my mom and sister and buying all our gardening stuff for the year

Michael and Laura Hewitson April 17, 2019 1:29 pm

Thanks Emily! Agreed! We are hoping to do that real soon! Fingers crossed

As spring traditions there are too many to write about ; my two favorites ones are: second best “parking” my winter boots and my best, taking long walks
with my german shepherd Neo.

Michael and Laura Hewitson April 18, 2019 1:06 pm

Thanks Marius! Those are both great!
