I love spring.
I love the early flowers that give us hope when they bloom through the snow. Ah wonderful tulips, crocus and daffodils. I love the longer days and warmer weather. I love that neighbors are out working in their yards and saying hello after a long cold winter. I love the smell of lilac and later blooming flowers. I love the sound of children laughing. There is a freedom that comes with spring. A freedom to walk outside without a jacket. Freedom to put away the winter shoes and put on summer sandals. Freedom to sit in the shade of a tree just barely covered with leaves. Freedom from winter and cold.
I love spring.
