Spring is a great time to shake off winter blues and explore in the sunshine and warm weather!
I long for the flowers to bloom and the hummingbirds to return.
Everywhere we have lived, springtime announces her arrival differently.
Growing up in Georgia, springtime meant crocus and daffodils and Easter. I remember cold mornings and hot afternoons. I remember the scent of tulips on the pollen wind and tomato plants planted early in the red soil.
Texas was much the same, but much hotter.
Hawaii was like ultimate springtime.
Utah seemed never to get warm until late June. Crocus would push up through the snow and we would get excited for warm weather. The sun could burn our faces, but the ground was cold and the wind was biting for months.
Germany was always wet and foggy. Snowdrops, crocus, and daffodils would poke through the slush to brighten the day in late winter and early spring. The woods would suddenly spring alive with bugs and leaves and warm earthy scents.
Ohio is very wet in spring. We look forward to the blossoms of flowers and it seems to get later and later every year. Then, finally the bees and birds get as excited as we do to feel the warm sunshine.
