Thanks For Spring

This is winter in South Dakota. Very beautiful to look at and fun to visit. But to live in this for five to six months out of the year—that can be a bit too much!

These are the beautiful birds that flew home—letting me know that spring is just around the corner!

And this morning, as I was painting in my studio, I heard a flock of geese fly overhead. Yes, spring is upon us and I couldn’t be happier. I love everything about spring: new life, pastel colors, freshly cut grass, the smell of flowers, the amazing aromas that come from cooking outdoors, the chirping of birds early in the morning, and the ability to go outside without layers upon layers of clothing!

So today, I shout unto the world, “Thank you Mother Earth for Spring!”

Give thanks…

Alyice, it’s the same thing in reverse here in Florida. Six months of hot summer can drive you crazy. But isn’t spring glorious? Even here, especially when our very short winter kills a lot of the tropical foliage. Things are brown everywhere for about a month, then fresh green starts popping out everywhere.

See, that’s the thing. There aren’t many places that have a nice balance all year round. It makes me miss Southern California–spent my childhood and first part of my adult life there. But you are right, spring is a glorious time of year, everywhere.
