Happy Spring Everyone

I'm ready for the warmer weather, just not some of things that come with it, such as severe weather, and having to mow my yard. Today though was beautiful. It was a bit windy, but very comfortable in the mid seventies with plenty of sunshine. I've noticed some things "springing" to life, like I'm seeing grass (well mostly weeds) growing, things starting to green up and the frist wave of ants have started exploring my home. (They come during spring of each year, hang around for a couple weeks and then leave. I leave them alone, and they leave me alone. It's a good relationship really.) Enough with the cold weather already, I'm tired of it. Bring on the Sun.

Happy Spring, dear tessah. It is really very nice to have spring come back to us as we can enjoy the warm weather again after the long and cold winter. I wish you to enjoy every moment of the spring time with your family and friends. We have had spring for almost two months since the 4th of February. Now many of the trees are growing new and tender green leaves, which makes the surroundings so nice and beautiful everywhere...Thanks very much for responding to my discussion, my dear friend.

Spring you say? I was just told we are expecting 4-6 inches of snow tonight after 2 weeks of mild weather (in the 40s). The kids were out in just sweatshirts this afternoon (enjoying the early dismissal from school). My son learned to ride a 2 wheeler (well, almost--we still have to work on stopping). Since we came in at 4:30 the temp has dropped about 15 degrees. Yuck. And we're supposed to be driving to Iowa on Saturday to have lunch with my inlaws (they live in Missouri so we meet half way in the town my fil grew up in). We were hoping to visit the cemetery and the park so the kids could run around with their cousins but now it will probably be freezing and covered in snow. Figures.

I couldn't be happier that Spring is finally here. Hopefully we have seen the last of the snow right? I don't mind the rain because as they say "April showers bring May flowers". I'll be getting rid of that winter grip by throwing myself into very much needed spring cleaning.

i enjoy all the seasons, even living in Southern California... Spring as that rebirth feeling, freshness, sunny breeze, occasional showers to assist beautiful, multicolored and multi-scented flowers to bloom, bright happy sunshine, birds chirping cheery songs, bees buzzing and pollinating flowers, enjoy life and nature as you stroll long romantic walks. Summer brings the heat, bright sun rays, nice tans, enjoying swimming or wading in cool waters, splashing, laughing and socializing with a tall glass of thirst-quenching lemonade or ice tea filled with ice, or maybe enjoying a snow cone or homemade ice cream on a smoldering day of summer. Autumn brings another season of fresh new start for that is when most people start school. The weather is now cooling down from the summer heat and feel crispy, clean and a little nippy. sweaters are out of the trunks with maybe a knit hat and scarf as you enjoy a walk filled with multicolored leaves hanging on trees, while some are dried and crispy crunching below your feet like potato chips. Winter gets colder, bright lights make a city glow a seasonal or christmasy look, emitting romance. the snow is pretty to look at, and even if there is no snow, the cold chill in the air makes people create a warm and loving environment inside their homes, with fireplace blazing a bright and wild orange color, holiday decoration, pets cuddled near the fireplace on a warm knit blanket, loved ones cuddled close together on the couch with a knit blanket, enjoying the warmth and love while sipping hot chocolate or any warm beverage and roasting chestnuts in the fireplace or eating homemade cookies.
