The First Breath of Spring

There are many things in life I look forward to still The first breath of spring, the sun as it peeks over the hill When the robins first arrive Means that winter we've survived As we run through fields of yellow daffodils © Jack Ellison 2015

That's how I felt... Then I got out the lawn mower... and mowed... mowed... mowed... Won't let Dragon do it... He'd mow Dragon pictures in the lawn and leave me the rest... Silly Dragon

G'day Jack... I think you're poking fun at us down under. The tinges of winter are waking us up and leaves are cluttering up the gutters. Enjoy your spring young Jack - Lindsay

Forgot that you guys down under are heading into your "winter" but I'm sure it's nothing like our Canadian winters!!!... Jack
