Spring Cleaning

Wind swept over the fields blowing the spring dust winter snow was not heavy it melted very fast the quick dryness of spring made everything cling with dust wind whipped as the dust settled on cars, windows basically everything outside Spring cleaning needs to be a good hard rain to renew and replenish the ground a good washing to awaken the greenery of spring to bring forth early buds renewal and rebirth of a new season. 30/03/17

Yes Spring cleaning is needed in all things. Especially in Nature where the ground awaits the moisture. I love the spring rains. As you say without them the ground suffers. I also like to receive the snow in winter because it's from the snow that we get the water for streams and rivers and lakes. People forget the necessary things of nature is what keeps us alive. Great write my friend. I do love a poem that has a message and this is a good one. God Bless, JB

Oh I do so agree Phyl. I am anxious to get my vacation time so I can start mine. And we really are looking forward to rain instead of snow now, Almost all the ice is gone from my yard now and the new buds are just beginning to peek from the ground. Ah As they say, Spring is sprung, the grass is riz. I wonder where the flowers is. (sorry about that couldn't resist.) God Bless, JB
