Swing in to Spring

Spring is considered as a merry time of the year. Spring can mildly be warmer than winter with temperatures ranging from 6 to 12 degree C or if lucky it can resemble Summer with temperatures in mid 25 to 28 degree C. There are a lot of activities in nature from which we can predict that " The happy season" has come.

Here are a few fun facts in our day-to-day lives that can brighten our spirits and welcome the season.

It's fun to be woken by the chirping sounds of birds, who migrate North after travelling long distances. It's beautiful to watch them fly in groups, trying to find a suitable and safe spot to nest and lay eggs.

It's fun and also sometimes scary to hear the "Spring Peeper" accompany the birds with it high-pitched calls to welcome the season. These frogs are mostly active at night and they can be heard from as far as 2 miles depending on their numbers.

It's fun to watch bunnies, squirrels and other burrow creatures hop on and out of their long hibernation. They can be seen everywhere, busybodies trying to look for food to reenergize and fill their empty bellies.

It's fun to watch Cherry blossom buds among the first to appear in trees during this season. It's also surprising to see the buds bloom and fill a tree before the leaves can emerge out of its branches.

It's fun to see the landscape transform their color to green from the usual white or brown. After a few days, many other colors join green to brighten the landscape. The flowers with all the colors give a lively and fresh landscape look.

It's fun to see kids engage in activities in their backyard and outdoors. It's not so uncommon to see a kid make and hang a birdhouse/feeder and decorate it with different art forms and paints. 

It's fun to plant seeds on the onset of spring and wish/hope to have an awesome yield at the end of summer. Flowers/Fruits/Vegetables can make a backyard/ front yard lively but beware of bunnies, rabbits and other voracious eating creatures, which can ruin the hope of having plenty.

It's fun to watch a carnival parade with people dressed in different costumes/masks. The parade and the flavorful food is a good start to welcome spring.

It's fun to explore and go for long treks and burn the accumulated winter calories. The season is just right, as the days are long and warmth from the sun is just right to re-energize our tired bodies.
