Spring is like a Child

    Spring is like a child, new and fresh and alive. She wants to do everything at once and the world lights up with her efforts...
      When you walk out the door you can smell the lilacs, every time you just want to bury your face in them. The ditches are turning gold with dandelions and all their yellow heads. A soft mist of violets is spreading in the cool shade. Apple blossoms and those of the plums are turning the orchard in to a white garland' fairy hall. The sky seems bluer each day as the rain washes the fading of winter away. A green mantle slowly settles over the trees and new planted fields. The mushrooms are popping, drawing hungry searchers from their daily tasks; they bring their bounty home to join asparagus and chives in bringing new flavors to their tables. Windows are thrown open to the sound of birds and children rejoicing in this season so filled with life.

Lilacs are one of my favorite things about May
