Spring is here, if not quite on the calendar, it is here. The skies are bluer, the sun shines warmer, the trees are beginning to burst into bloom and the robin I’ve been watching in my yard for weeks, looks at me with a little robin smile and winks.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned my love of Spring, I cannot help myself, it fills me with such energy and joy. I want to dance down the street singing some silly Spring song so others will look up and share in the joy of the season. I want to till the soil, plant the crops, sing with the birds, buzz with the bees and take the time to smell the roses. I want to dance and hike… no, ramble through the countryside, write poetry ‘neath a tree, soak up the sunshine and maybe save a little in a bottle, that I may pull it out one cold day in the deep of winter.

Spring is filled with hope and new beginnings. Babies are born, couples are joined, blossoms are visited by the bees, and the cycle of life continues. Tulips push through frozen ground and the sun smiles with pleasure as it plays with the showers that fall, making prisms of color dance ‘cross the sky.

Spring is a celebration! It’s Mother Nature’s annual party and we’re all invited. It’s an open house, come and go as you will, but don’t miss it. There will be music and flowers, dancing in the sunshine and under the stars. So get up from that desk, put on that dress, and step outside; it is the place to be. Bring an old friend or make a new friend. Go ahead, dance, laugh out loud, and dream your dreams; anything is possible. Spring is here!

Joy and gratitude
