Awaken

Of all the seasons in the year the one I am most anxious to see, the one that follows the cold of winter, it reaches out to me. In the evening you may catch the scent of new mown hay. To remind us of what is coming, spring is on it's way. Some morning you will hear the sweet song of a bird, the cheerful red breast robin, wanting to be heard. And you begin to see the fresh, new color of green, like a painter's canvas, displaying a springtime scene. The trees with buds, the new grass peeking through, as if God was saying, "awaken" and the beauty of spring starts anew.

I can just picture your mom as I read this, sitting in the breezeway. After these long, harsh WV winters, spring is definitely a gift, and you've really captured that here.

I enjoyed your spring tribute, Sandy, spring seemed to be short lived here in Texas, we are already having record high temps...could be a long summer. John

Thank you, John, It has been an unusual winter and spring, weatherwise here on the east coast. Spring is usually beautiful, a little sluggish this year. Keep cool. Sandy
