Spring
Bradford pear and redbud trees
Just beginning to bloom.
Light breezes and sunshine -
Screen doors to let air flow through.
Birds chirping merrily -
Singing a song for all.
Daffodils lift their heads
To the season's powerful call.
Hammocks strung and set in place,
Firepits shoveled and cleared,
Freshly manicured lawns -
Those are the sounds that I hear.
Newly cultivated earth
Prepared for sowing time.
Tomatoes and veggies - ready!
To plant them by the signs.
A pedicure with bright polish,
Capris and shirts with short-sleeves,
Add toe rings and flip-flops -
This is what Spring means to me!

Thanks so much Debbie! I am going to continue tweaking the layout! It's been a balmy 80 degrees today and yesterday. After the storms, it'll go back to the low 60's, but I'll bet that you would welcome that.
