Lemon Citrus Cookies #SundaySupper

Spring has sprung!!  I’m so happy for the warmer days!  The longer days!  I love the sunshine, wearing flip flops, the time of year before it gets to be a miserable Texas summer.

Spring is the season I wished never ended.  The weather is perfect.  The colors of the blooming flowers & trees are beautiful.  Kids are out playing.  It’s the time of year where you need shorts during the day and a blanket to cuddle up with at night.  And I love it!

One of my other favorite things about Spring is the fresh citrus that starts becoming available again.  Fresh oranges, fresh limes, fresh lemons ~ they all scream Spring!  What’s your favorite part of the season??
