It Is Spring

When days grow longer, you know it is spring
The sun warms the earth's soil, whoa! it's spring.

Shades of tender green appear, warm sun's here
Barefoot, run out, stump your toe, lively spring.

Colored blooms show in the woods, love floats round
Maidens slip and kiss their beau, that is spring.   

Little boys throw baseballs fast, run at last
Coats disappear, red cheeks glow, joy in spring.

Sunflower plants zinnia seeds, soon they show 
Awesome renewals bestow, lovely spring.

Was thinking about planting some zucchini! Blessings and prayers. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 2/9/2024 2:01:00 PM Sam, I hope you get the zucchini planted and that it makes an abundant crop. So many ways to prepare it and enjoy. Thanks for stopping by and taking time to comment on my work and let me know that I placed in the contest. Sara K

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 1/5/2024 11:47:00 PM Spring, oh, so lovely! Zinnias and sunflowers, how I adore them! A joyful gaze forward, winter will not last forever, it never does. This is especially a happy reminder if one lives in a colder climate, I couldn't wait for spring while living through an icy winter one year, all I could think of was spring's approach. This is so joy filled, I love it! :) <3 Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 1/6/2024 12:43:00 AM Oh!! BJ, thanks for the I love it and smiley face.

Tom Cunningham Date: 1/5/2024 10:32:00 PM It can't come quick enough Sara, very cold here at the moment with lots of rain, we've had severe flooding in places too. Enjoy your weekend. Tom Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 1/6/2024 12:42:00 AM Tom, it is raining right now as I type these few lines. Supposed to clear out soon though and then a few days of fairly nice weather before the rain comes again. Those sunny days do help. Your visits inspire me. Sara K
