Spring Issues New Birth

I remember baby chicks and lambs born in the spring. I enjoy seeing leaves returning on the trees and the tulips coming to life. I noticed a bird trying to impress his mate the other day with the old nest he had built last year. His mate was not impressed, so he hurriedly cleaned it and added a few more little twigs and some old pieces of grass he found. She did not fly off, so I guess the nest finally met her Good House Cleaning seal of approval. When I rototill the garden, I always dig up frozen toads. The toads quickly return to life from their frozen state and hop into the raspberry bushes. I love to plant garden seeds and watch them pop out of the ground and grow beautiful tomatoes, green beans, lettuce, and more. Nothing tastes as good as fresh garden produce. I love to plant new trees in the spring, watch them grow, and eventually make an excellent windbreak. Springtime rejuvenates us human beings as well. The warmer weather inspires us to work and do more outdoor activities and burn off some unwanted pounds as we walk, work, ride our bikes, and so much more.

Some Of My Springtime Activities

I stain my deck when it is warm enough in the spring and do other outdoor painting before it gets too hot to work outdoors in the summer. I will water the new trees we planted this year. I ensure our riding mowers are in tip-top shape before we mow for the season. I will do my spring cleaning and weed out things I have not used. If you have not used something in ten years, give it to someone who could use it and enjoy it if it is in good condition. Spring is a good time to declutter your home. I take everything out of the garage and clean the floor from the winter grime. My vehicle floor mats get a royal cleaning as I get all of the salt and dirt from the winter cleaned off. I spray armor all over them and scrub them with a scrub brush. All of our winter clothing gets cleaned and stored away for next winter.

Spring And Travel

Spring is a good time to travel, even if it is only a day trip. It is gratifying to take a nice long drive when you do not need to worry about travel delays. I love discovering new places to eat or quaint little stores to shop in. I love old hardware stores, clothing stores, bookstores, and mom-and-pop stores in small towns. Adventure is around every corner if you get out and about and enjoy life to its fullest potential. We discovered the most interesting stores and bakeries by driving to a restaurant or store on a day trip. If we wanted what they had to offer, we went there again on our next journey. God bless you, and yours, and I hope your spring is filled with many blessings, discoveries, and memories you will cherish forever.
