☘️ Birch: Do you engage in any specific, yearly habit when spring comes?

I do! Of course, I do a bit of spring cleaning! After having cleaned up the house on a day that's warm enough to truly feel like spring, I open up all the windows and cleanse the house using incense smoke. My personal favorites when it comes to incense smells are tree smells, so you could see it as way to bring the greenery of the season inside my house! Every single year, I also wait for the local markets to open so I can go buy herbs and flower seeds to pot/sow at home. Preparing my garden for the summer is pretty much a key element of my spring time habits, although in live in quite the cold area, which means this particular habit tends to happen towards the later end of spring. Those are things I do every year. Now as for more spiritual rituals, they change up pretty much every year! I like to try different stuff every year, but I'll always try to make a bonfire at some point before summer starts for good. This time of year feels perfect for outdoor fires!
