Spring Forth



The last couple of mornings I have noticed the tiny heads of the crocus popping up through the brown soil. In the cool mornings their purple heads appear, by afternoon they are fully opened and the yellow center bursts forth. The daffodils and tulips stems are breaking the stiff brown earth. The birds are chirping louder to greet the day. The sun feels warmer and the kids are packing their coats instead of wearing them.




Soon the trees will bud and the leaves will burst forth filling the country side with greens of every hue. The Daffodils and Tulips will bloom in a magnificent color assortment. The air will feel fresh and new!!! Soon the kids will exchange coats and boots for shorts and sandals, sledding for swimming, and hats and mittens for sunglasses and sunblock. But for now Spring is peaking through and we are going to enjoy the energy of life being rejuvenated. It feels so good after a long winter. It's like a stretch after a long sleep filled night. Invigorating Spring!!!!!
