Pent up energy seems to burst up from the ground revealing, once again, the beauty of nature. Tulips, crocus and daffodils contrast richly with the tired decay of last year's bounty. Spring is refreshing and invigorating. It has to make you smile. If you are like me, you are probably even starting to feel a little spring in your step as you go out to work in the garden.
Spring is more than just crocus, tulips and daffodils, though.
The sounds and the scents of spring are everywhere. The birds delight us with their fanciful flights and songs of courtship. The sweet wafting of Dutch hyacinths can permeate the air. That smell and the happy faces of pansies greet us when we go out for the morning paper. Dutch irises were not far behind.
