Spring

Spring in Michigan is a time of new life. Daffodils, crocus, tulips, lilacs and a myriad of other flowers announce the arrival of spring. But, spring is not only a celebration for the eyes. Our ears are filled with the sounds of the singing birds and the fragrance of blooming flowers fills the air.

For me, I especially like the way that new growth appears on our spruce trees. Often over looked by the bright colors in the garden, the new growth is not only beautiful in color, but also soft and supple to the touch.

I would like to write several more paragraphs which would explain the process of new growth, but words will never be able describe the miracle of spring.
