Signs of Spring

The signs of spring are in the air the days begin to lengthen morning arrives earlier each day the sun sets later in evening the mood of people brighten as they look forward to spring it was a long cold winter with temperatures below zero the windchill and frostbite made some hibernate but coming signs of spring with ice melting on roads dripping of ice off roof tops spots of grass beginning to show along houses and sidewalks brings a lighter step to all who were down with winter blues.

I relate to this. I have lived in Germany and New England, and other heavy snow places. I have also lived many places that have four seasons. Now, I'm in Florida, have been since 2020 and rejoice that I avoid winter, but Spring? Fall, too? No, love them both. That's different. Hope to travel to Virginia in Spring. Enjoyed your write and sharing ... CayCay

Love the Spring and Fall Phyllys! Hate the Summer because I have had 8-10 cancer operations of minor type and Melanoma which is of a major type so I have to hibernate in winter and summer. But love between as I love the imagery you gave me of the grass showing along houses and sidewalks. Keep it moving Lord!! Love Patrick down in Philadelphia
