The Arrival

As the snow melts it's last white flake disappears into non existence. A new birth begins to unfold. It's this wonderful time of year when the season is beginning to break between winter and the rainy season. This all takes place just before the arrival of spring. It's as if a curtain is opened and a new season is stated picturesquely before your eyes. With each rain, I can see the green grass starting to come to life. The crocuses are barley peering through the flesh of the earth. There is that refreshing smell of distant rain that drifts through each breath of fresh air. The seeds are starting to bud for spring planting. The chickens are starting to graze through the new niblets of grass. A brown egg is found nestled deeply in a nesting box. The lambs arriving with their new breath of life and the playful bleating begins.
