Brightly colored ducks are stopping by to rest in our lakes on their way up north. So beautiful are they, they seem unreal. Perky purple finches are dining at our feeders. Butter-yellow dandelions are popping up in our lawns. Even they are a welcome sight after the long, grey winter.
Skies are bluer, clouds whiter and puffier.
Even our clothing is prettier. Who can deny this after seeing the young women in their lovely prom dresses. And this spring, sportswear is arriving in fuchsia, lime green, and hot pink, and floral-print Hawaiian shirts are all the rage. Freshly-washed cars sparkle in the sunlight. Rainbows form in the misty spiderwebs at daybreak.
