First Day of Spring Today

The first day of spring is officially here today. We have already seeded out tomatoes in the greenhouse, and they are beginning to sprout new growth.

I can't wait to put my winter coat and gloves away - I want the days to warm up once again. We had a lot of snow this winter, and can't wait for it all to melt away. I love Spring - when all the trees sprout new growth, and the grass turns green after a good rain. The flowers, such as the tulips, start to bloom those pretty colors of yellow, red, and pink which are the colors in our garden.

Spring is a miraculous experience. The whole world comes alive after the winter in which everything seems dead, and everything comes alive, and my life is filled with color and wonderful scents surrounding me once again. The world that seemed so dull and cold has come alive. Spring gives me hope for rejuvenation in all our lives as well, and going out and enjoying the beautiful spring weather (without coats and gloves).
