Sight
- baby squirrels basking in the sun on tree limbs
- turkey toms but no hens
- birds pairing off and even
mating activity - an explosion of bloom
- brown kids already because they've been outdoors so much
- morel mushrooms popping up in special spots in the yard
Scent
- blossoming trees...our flowering crabapple exploded into bloom and the scent is intoxicating and can be smelled all over our yard
- fresh-cut grass
Sound
- Buzzing as I stand under the flowering crabapple--the tree is FULL of bees and you can hear them buzzing loudly!
- kids playing
- lawnmowers running
- happy bird songs and mating calls
- squirrels chattering at each other as they play
- ripples in the river

What a delightful post celebrating the season. Just so sweet.
Our neck of the woods?
* the strong scent of strawberries wafting from the strawberry patches tucked between offices in our city
* the hopeful, sweet smell of cocoa buttery kiddies, slathered with sunblock at the park
* the sounds of mourning doves, gnatcatchers and sparrows chirping their bird conversations in the morning
* the bright yellow color of the lemon tree now with blossomed fruit
* the mosaic of bathing suit colors from bathers along the Pacific beaches
* the dark luxurious greens of freshly mowed lawns in surburbia, the dark pink of the bouganvilleas (however you spell it) hanging on the fences around them
* the sounds of children playing games in their yards long after suppertime
Thanks for making me think of Spring and appreciating it more.
