I love Spring....

I just love spring.  When spring comes it brings with it, a new sense of hope.  A new growth, of dreams and ideas.  Creative inspiration.  There's a real FEELING that comes with spring.  And every year I appreciate it more and more.

Today we have a cloudy day, that would seem more like a wintry day, but if you REALLY look closely, you can see the freesias and azaleas blooming, the wisteria has new shoots reaching and stretching up to find the lattice work to climb up on.  The jasmine is in bloom and there's pink blossoms in the trees announcing that spring is here.  The baby plovers born in the middle of our paddock, have been herded by mom and dad, back into the bushes for their protection.

And all the while, I have the 1812 Overture running through my head as the house has been sold and the pace of our situation seems to be set by this music.  Slowly at first as dawn awakens, and then the finale, ...grand and large, as it stomps into the finish.  But the hope is there.  New inspiration is there.

Spring.  New beginnings.  A fresh start.  A new canvas to start the next stage of our lives.  I guess that's why they have 'spring' cleaning, and why diets are started, and why exercise seems to be so enticing as the sun's rays soak into your soul.

Yes, I just love spring.  I love the colour of spring.  The pinks, baby blues, lemon yellows, and light greens of spring, as nature works her finest magic.  Such wonderful hope and inspiration.   Yes,  this is where your dreams start and motivation kicks in.  Goodbye Winter,..hellooo Spring!!!
