When flowers return

Mom put my bed at the balcony to let me to enjoy the sun this afternoon. It feels warm.  We have not worn sweater before going out for a walk since some days ago. It seems winter was not so bad this time, because we didn’t  stop  walking  almost every day, the snow was nice but it didn’t accumulate for weeks, as other years. Snow doesn’t know how much I enjoy it!.

A few days ago I began to feel the air running through the entire house; we don’t need the heat on anymore, except during the night. Benny’s bedroom is illuminated even more , it seems that this gives him slightly more spirit , because he has not stopped eating and sometimes even comes to see us to the living room.

He likes to enjoy the sun or jump to the couch and watch television now. He didn’t like to watch TV never before but it seems to enjoy it now. Also he didn’t like fish, and is now his favorite flavor. I suppose there is a moment in life where is fun to make and enjoy different things. Finally, only the exploration let us know new worlds!.

When we go out for a walk, I can smell the squirrels and rabbits, I think that they run because their smell comes and goes, I could also feel the perfume of the plants; it doesn’t smells to snow and cold anymore. The branches of the trees smell different and feel alive. I loved seeing the birds when spring begins, they dress in a different color, and they take special poses. Mom says that they sing more beautiful to attract females and to populate the world of colors and sounds. 

Mom is still looking for a good photo of birds to share. She told me once, that  those days before the explosion of the spring  are the best time for a good pic, because trees are still naked and birds do not hide among leaves, it is easy to see the color of the plumage contrasting with the sky, and the plumage is much more striking. 

Days before the spring, it’s possible to see also leaves a little shy coming up from the ground, where there apparently was nothing, something green pops up, like if someone painted a picture during the night, but only has green paint, it is possible to see flashes of green, and with a fast-growing tulips welcome the  rays of sun. They only need some rain, because rain is the smell of the spring!, and everything grows with pleasure. Life is an open road!.

And there are meetings, for example,  mom and  garden will be together again.  She promised me that I will be going to help her to plant gladiolus, prune the roses, and distribute the fertilizer around the garden. We are going to look for a good moment of the day because it is not good to get sunburned. Champy is going to be with us, because garden is a matter of passion, more you care for it, more beautiful are the flowers.

Life goes on, carrots are still so juicy and crispy as past spring and  the best of all! They are  still within my reach even if I can’t  see them anymore. The landscape may be different, but the good things continue.
