Spring is just Around the Corner

The changing of seasons is always a greatly looked forward to event in my life. Different seasons means different responsibilities and different pleasures.  In the winter,  our main priority is staying warm, keeping the walks and driveway clean of snow and ice. The winter also brings comfort foods to warm our bodies. Ah, there is nothing quite as warming as coming in from the cold and setting down to  a warm bowl of your favorite soup, Now is that time of year when I am ready to leave winter behind and start thinking of spring.
 Spring is the time of every thing starting a new cycle, the flowers start popping up, the trees and bushes budding and I start all my preparation of things I need to do for my time outdoors.
Getting the lawn mower tuned and ready for its weekly duty of mowing the yard, cleaning the grill and fire pit. I can hardly wait to taste those steaks and burgers cooked over an open fire.
Then there is all the outdoor seating and tables. The rocking chairs on the porch and patio set on the deck, for spending those days or evenings relaxing with Mother nature. For me there is nothing I enjoy more than that first outing in the garden, filling the planters with flowers, and the raised bed boxes with vegetables and watching them grow, thinking of the first red tomato I will take a bite of. The only thing left to do is bring out the bird waterer and filling it with clean water for my feathered friends, as they will be arriving back from their winter stay.
Once I have completed my duties it is just a matter of going out to my yard or garden and enjoying. Even though spring is not quite here, just my thoughts of preparing for it excite me.
Yes I love spring and all it brings.
