Spring here

Its finally spring here.

The wattles have flowerd
there are tiny blubells around the house
the small humming birds are back
the sun is out and quite warm

Its good for my spirit, good for my body, good for how I feel, good for my sanity.

Kevin

Here in Ohio our seasons are: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Road Construction!

I wish it was getting to be Spring here instead of autumn coming. I dread the cold and snow - I don't mind winter so much, it's mostly driving in snow and ice, and the huge heating bills that I hate so much.

Spring is my favorite season cause it's the season of Beginnings!

I live in Texas, where the seasons are, Summer, still Summer, Hotter than Heck, almost Summer! Every year, we have one day of, HOLLY COW, it's that snow? Oh, wait, the A/C has frozen up again! LOL! I love it. Can't stand to be stuck inside much, and now that I'm TRYING to stay sober, being outside and in the middle of my yard is the best help I can have!

I'm in Northern California and we get very hot and then right at Halloween it suddenly gets chilly, dark and fall sudeenly comes upon us. Spring and fall are my favorite seasons.
