Days of Spring

Spring is a welcome thought today. Every week, old man winter plays the grump and stomps us down with another storm blowin’ in this March.

Spring is shedding horsehair all over my coat.

Spring is the woodpecker drilling away at the tall oak tree.

Spring is the promise of better days ahead.

Spring is the house cats moving from the east to the south window in search of deep, loving sunbaths.

Spring is an old friend.

Spring is the scuffle of skunks in the woods. It’s the aroma of fox scenting the wood paths in search of a mate.

Spring is most welcome today.

All hail the turn of the earth.

Hail, hail and welcome the Vernal Equinox is here! March 20, the wheel of the year turns to springtime. There’s so much energy in the heavens. Celebrate the Full Sap Moon, March 23.

In Massachusetts, the maple trees are being taped for syrup. The robins have returned to the garden. The berry bush branches flush a reddish hue. The trees and shrubs come back to life. The buds begin to swell. The perennial flowers and herbs are reborn. The crocus, jonquil and snow drops reach to the sky. The soil is warming. Soon, will be time to turn the earth and plant peas. Oh yeah!

Greek mythology honors the return of Persephone to the surface. Demeter, weeps no more as mother and daughter are reunited. It’s springtime! May the rains be gentle on us.
