Spring.

Spring is the season Mother Nature awakes

after slumbering through the cold winter

watching the first buds of life erupt 

now Jack Frost has withdrawn his grasp

chirping dawn chorus to wake us up

crisp mornings felt beneath clear skies

a forest of bright bluebells cover the ground

pink blossom fills the air with powerful scent

what tastes would spring enjoy?

red stemmed rhubarb ready for pulling

crunchy salads, new potatoes, chocolate eggs

spring lambs, new birth, life returns to the fields

spring is full of sights and sounds all around us

filling our senses with, taste, touch and smells

emotions tingling our very existence

it's a wonderfully vibrant time of the year!
