Enjoying the Beauty of the Spring Season
The spring of the year is a favorite season for many people, and
it is certainly easy to understand why this is so. The spring is
when the earth comes back to life after a long cold winter, and
it is in the spring when the first flowers begin to bloom and
the green world begins to return after its winter slumber.
The power of spring and its regenerative effects are evidenced
by the fact that every major religion includes a major holiday
in the spring season. From Passover to Easter, it seems that
every culture marks spring with a celebration of renewal and new
life. It is easy to understand how in times past ancient
cultures were overjoyed by the power of spring and the beauty of
new life.
The spring is an important season for many hobbies, including of
course gardening. For the gardener, the spring is one of the
most pleasant times in the garden. The spring is the time when
the bulbs that were carefully planted in the fall begin to grow
and blossom, and the spring is when the first seedlings are
carefully nestled in the garden. There is no doubt that the
spring is one of the most beautiful, and most colorful, of all
seasons for the gardener.
The spring is also a favorite time for home improvement projects
that could not go forward while the weather was too cold.
Whether it is a small project like installing new downspouts or
a large project like building a new garage or storage shed, the
spring is one of the best times to work at improving the value
and livability of the home. In the spring, the weather is
neither too hot nor too cold, and the homeowner has plenty of
daylight in which to work. It is no wonder that the spring
season is one of the busiest for home improvement stores and
warehouses.
For the outdoor sports enthusiast, there is nothing like the
coming of the spring season. For the fisherman, the coming of
spring means the first day of trout season. For the avid hiker,
spring means that those favorite trails are no longer impassable
due to snow, and for the horseback rider spring means being able
to take a ride without first bundling up. And of course spring
means the opening of baseball season, a joy for spectators and
players alike.
