Spring sentiments

Spring is such a great time! I love watching the world of nature re-awaken after a long sleepy winter.

We start awakening to the sounds of the birds chirping eagerly.. reminding us that a beautiful day awaits us. The grass starts to regain its colour , trees start to blossom and the very first buds from spring bulbs start to poke themselves out of the ground- surprising us with a delightfully unexpected pop of colour.

I think this is the reason that I love spring flowers.. they reawaken my senses with new smells and colours long forgotten during the bitterness of winter. They are like old friends we suddenly come across on a stroll, bringing instant joy and laughter to us.

Tulips, daffodils, crocuses followed by budding lilac trees all lighten my spirit and combine to make up the delightful smell of spring. A smell that resides deep in my memory from childhood as I recall those carefree bike rides and ventures in the park.
