Spring is my favorite season. So, why am I talking about Spring when May is nearly over? Well, I live in Maine and Spring is slow in getting here. And, March and April we still had snow and most of this month saw rain---lots of rain! Last Saturday we saw the sun for the first time in almost 2 weeks, but it lasted only a day. Then it started raining again. Today, the sun shone bright with temps in the mid-70's. What a gorgeous Spring day! I love how the grass 'greens up' after months of snow--and the brown mud of March and April rainstorms. I also love the look of flowering trees, the tulips, Irises, and the scent of lilacs in the air. Hearing the sound of lawn mowers is a sweet sound after a long winter of listening to the grinding of snowplows. Then there's the smell of spring barbeques---ahhh. And although dandelions can be a nuisance, I happen to like the weeds--their bright yellow fluffy heads remind me of the sun and the best part are the longer days. There is a dramatic change in my personality as the days get longer and warmer. I feel more alive, vibrant and well,....happy! That's what Spring is to me---the beginning of happiness!
We don't have too many flowers right now. Within a week, we'll be planting and in a month or so, I'll share my 'green thumb' with you (for what it's worth). Thanks for looking, my friends.
What lovely flowers. Spring is such a beautiful time.
ReplyDeleteEverything around you is looking colorful and beautiful. We are well into our summertime heat with temps already at 108 during the day. Plants are dying off -- only the bougainvillea can survive the heat and are blooming profusely at the moment. Hope you are having a great week. Best wishes, Tammy
