L loves being outside. We were able to be outside for large quantities of time over the past few weeks, setting her bare legged in the yard, letting her explore crunchy leaves and just starting to turn green grass. My grandma has a beautiful garden, and during Easter a large part of her yard was full of 'Glory of the Snow' blooms, L loved sitting among them, touching their petals and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. I hope she always loves the beauty of a garden! We have been taking walks around the neighborhood most evenings with Roxy, and L is so content and happy whether in her stroller or the baby carrier, as long as she is outside. She is getting really good at following the direction of your gaze, or a pointed finger, to notice the ducks or geese flying in the air or a beautiful daffodil in bloom outside the front door of her daycare. 
Le Printemps
par Théophile Gautier
Regardez les branches
Comme elles sont blanches,
Il neige des fleurs.
Riant de la pluie
Le soleil essuie
les saules en pleurs.
Et le ciel reflète
Dans la violette
Ses pures couleurs…
La mouche ouvre l’aile
Et la demoiselle
Aux prunelles d’or,
Au corset de guêpe
Dépliant son crêpe,
A repris l’essor.
L’eau gaiement babille,
Le goujon frétille
Un printemps encore !
