Spring is coming



Spring is such a wonderful time of year I find. I haven't totally decided if it is my favourite time of the year or not, but I think it is right up there. I've started noticing a lot more colours and life around me this year than ever before. It might be because I'm taking mych more of an interest in the garden and that is translating to the rest of the world as well, I'm not sure. I would like to think that it is because nature is more beautiful in 2006 than ever before.

The UK is not renowned for it's good weather (although I sometimes feel that we are renowed for talking about the weather!!!), but when the sun comes out it does feel great to be alive. Those crisp spring mornings with a bit of dew in the year. And then the cloudless skies which turn into a lazy warm evening. There is an American Indian expression - Hokahay - which translated means 'It's a beautiful day to die'. What it means is that if I died today then I would leave on a most stunningly beautiful day. Which kind of sums up Spring to me.
