Spring is here!!!

I have always loved summer the best of all the seasons - there is nothing better then sitting by the pool or by the ocean with a slow summer breeze and a trashy novel. But I have to say that spring is a close second. Lately I have been enjoying the rebirth and newness of spring, the sights of the trees that seem to go from bare empty branches to hatching a few small buds to full green leaves in what seems like a day or two. Or the trees and bushes that burst out in color, pink and white buds or bright purple flowers appearing in celebration of the warmer weather. Every day as I drive to work I am distracted by the sight of these trees and bushes exploding with more color. They will soon dissipate, all the spring flowers will subside as well, so this period is short but it is a lovely and beautiful time. It does open up to summer, which is also a time of color, and fun, but the change from winter to spring can’t be beat.
