THE AWAKENING OF NATURE.

Spring is the season that the
awakening OF nature begins. The
flowers and all sleeping things that
sleep in the winter awake and star,
growing.
The trees begin putting out green
leaves and from the frui, trees many
blossoms of the fruit begin TO grow
for us TO have plenty OF frui, in the
summer.
We have many flowers that come
up in the spring. The violet and the
buuttercup grow on lawns nd
meadows There are so many OF those
nowers that the ground seems TO be
decorated with them. The beautiful
flowers that come up in spring seem
