Spring Fever

I found this fascinating quote today:

1. Spring is a new begining. All winter I struggle not to get caught up too much in the winter blues. Each year I fail!? I look at Spring as a new begining. Baby birds start coming to life, flowers start popping out of the ground, and the buds are on the trees. It is a fresh start for everything including me!
2. Spring is warm. It is not hot! It is warm. You still need a sweater but the sun feel warm on your face as it smiles down on you. The windows can be open each day to let some fresh air in and the family can take a family hike or its first family letterboxing trip.
3. Spring has flowers. Not only does Spring offer flowers but it offers my favorite flowers. Tulips are the flower I love the most.? They are just as delicate as a rose in features but last and last. I just love them!
4. Spring is a time to play. This means that the kids want to go out more and more.? They are feeling this fever too and it is all they can do not to be house ridden with this fever!? Spring means that they can run and have some fun without FREEZING!
5. Spring brings the sun. As I mentioned the sun gets warmer in the spring but there is something else that the spring sun does!? The spring sun makes the days longer. There is nothing more depressing then it being dark out by 4pm. Now the sun shines longer and longer. I have noticed this in the past week or so. Perhaps that is why I have this fever.
