The Joys of Spring
Spring opens up new paths
When the snow finally melts in the northern hemisphere and the grass starts to become visible it really never gets old. Puddles start to form and the snow banks recede as the water from the snow start their descent down the mountains and hills into the rivers, lakes and ocean. Water, the elixir of life, starts its wake-up call for all living things and begins to awaken everything out of their slumber.
Among the first flowers to break into the spring air are the crocus; with their violet, purples and yellows they dance into the crisp air defying the still cold ground around them. As people pass by, even the folks not into gardening cannot help but notice the tiny dancing blooms, especially after a long, cold and snowy winter.
The days start to get longer and the heat starts to get stronger when the delightful cardinals and robins appear and start their breeding cycle again. The cardinal, with its red plumage and unmistakeable crown are akin to a tropical bird, as their scarlet colors and superb songs dance in the early morning hours just after dawn; nothing quite grabs ones attention as they do a close fly by reminding humanity of the beauty all around us.

The Canada Geese are a familiar sight as well during these times as they head north to their breeding grounds. The familiar “v” once again brings the birds into our consciousness ensuring better weather is ahead for all; and their beautiful wonders and pretty honks are sweet music to the northern resident unable to fly south like they can!
The trees get into the spring routine as well as they start to run with sap attracting the mourning cloak butterfly. In fact some people see this deep purple beauty and cannot believe a butterfly could appear so early in spring with no flowers around, but this exquisiteness has the ability to drink the sap from the trees for its sweet nectar; and therefore can sustain itself long enough until other food sources become available. |

Spring is also the season of new beginnings, new ideas and new hope which put thoughts into action. It is the time of year when people from all walks of life have the most energy. Folks start to jog, get in shape, garden, bicycle, and play basketball, football, tennis and even road hockey! The vibrations in the air are akin to an energy drink for the mind, body and soul. No prescription needed when dealing with the seasons Mother Nature brings; in fact this natural remedy in life is the elixir that humanity desires to live long and prosper.
For the gardener every day spring brings, plays into the hands and plans of vivid visualizations. The grower imagines the natural palette of the earth and molds the physical with the etheric to come up with the best flower, tree and shrub show yet! All winter the people with a love for the land have been leafing through books and magazines getting ideas to improve their little piece of heaven. |

It would be remiss not to mention vegetable gardening, as mother earth awaits with anticipation the warm hands of people to tend to their organic plots of land so she can feed and sustain the people and animals on the planet. Sowing seeds with love and watching them grow is an educational and natural gift that is a rewarding etheric, physical and spiritual experience for all.
The long and short of it really is just getting out into the yard and onto the land and soak up everything that’s around. The sights, sounds and smell of spring are unmistakable, especially after a lovely rain; which adds to the joy of spring. Shortly after the air is filled with negative ions to improve one’s health and mood, the best place to be is outside. The rain has a natural way of uplifting the people, plants and animals to a lovely crescendo and has the whole place humming in no time! |

The best part about spring just might be that summer is next in line; it’s then that the thoughts of hot days with holidays along with walking and talking become fashionable again as it truly is just around the corner! Spring truly is the season of hope, don’t miss a beat and get out on the street to take in all god has to offer on this little blue planet; you will be very glad you did!
