Spring Day One

Around my garden butterflies dance. Bright wings shining in Spring's sunlight. Winter is gone, you can tell at a glance. I turn my face to the sun ... sigh in delight. Getting rid of the winter was a long, hard fight. The breeze is cool, still carrying a nip to remind us this season has just begun. As I watch the hummingbirds taking a sip I'm thankful for the coming of sun, finally believing this battle is won. Winter you're gone, you'll not be missed. I don't care if you return no more. Our morning grass is now by the dew kissed. Gone is the carpet of white on earth's floor. I see green everywhere and my heart starts to soar. Spring ! you have sprung ! , I'm so glad you're here. Please stay with us now for awhile. This is the season I hold the most dear. The very thought of you makes me smile. I love Spring with all of her style !

How wonderful, and right in time. I believe this is the first day of spring?? I think you are having a spring contest? This must be our inspiration. Awesome!!

I wrote it after I came up with the idea ( and rules) for the contest

Spring must be especially lovely in British Columbia. It's not so bad in New Jersey, either. Glad to see you putting up some impressive material again.
