The seasonal birds are back again. Red Robins are flying around with tiny branches in their beaks, looking for safe places to build their nests. The geese are migrating back from the south; flocks of ducks are re-acquainting with the freshly unfrozen water in the ponds. The tulips, the daffodils, the lilacs, the gladiolas….the roots of bulbs are bursting out in the garden soil. New sprouts are shooting out to enjoy the new season. Everyone – a plant or an animal – knows: it is spring again.
Put away your winter jackets; put away the snow shoes. It is time to come out of the hibernation; the spring is here.
It is time to admire the nature again. The trees are shaking off the freezing stiffness of winter. The new buds are opening up; the ground is unthawed; the grass is changing color from dry brown to lively green again.
Look outside, look around – a natural and beautiful canvas of prominent green and new spring colors is painted once more. Once again, the blue ponds and the new shrubbery are the living proof that there is no better artist that Mother Nature.
It is time to take out the jogging shoes. It is time to pull out the patio sets and roll out the barbeque grills. Clean up the swing-sets and the backyard playgrounds, as no one enjoys spring more than little kids.
The pleasant fragrance form roses and jasmine flowers are part of suburban neighborhoods. The winter chill has disappeared. The air is no longer cold; the sunshine has the radiant aura of warmth.
Those who enjoy gardening have one more reason to smile. The outdoors are tempting again; young and old are ready to yawn out of their winter laziness. It is time to tune up the gardening tools. The sound of lawn-mowers is a part of the natural acoustics of winter.
It is time to welcome the spring season. It is reminder of the fact that winter, no matter how gloomy it might be, cannot last for ever.
The kids, the teenagers and the grownups – everyone – enjoy the lively season. The warm weather welcome the new dress code. It is an execuse to refresh your closet with spring attire. It is time to be active, shed those extra few pounds from winter slothing and replace the heavy winter clothings with light and casual dressing in bright spring colors.
Yes, spring season opens up a door to new chores – the spring cleaning, the patio wash, the weed control, the lawn-mowing, the pruning, running after the kids who love to wander all over the places when the outdoors are so appealing….. Yes, spring brings new thing to worry about, but so does every other weather. And, it is a tiny price to pay for such a beautiful and healthy outdoor. With the right attitude, you can even enjoy all those activities!
So let’s make the best of the lovely spring weather; let us enjoy while it is still here. For, it won’t be too long before we start complaining about the scorching heat of summer! 
It is spring time. It is time to get up, go outside and relish the outdoors.
Enjoy the fresh breeze. If nothing else, fly a kite!
