    Small (Seasonal) Pleasures

    As the "Pet Peeve" thread has resurfaced, I decided to start another positively toned thread in response. There is good n the world.

    How about one small pleasure per post. If you're stuck, spring is arriving in North America, what do you enjoy about that?


    So one small pleasure this:

    Seeing the fat dark green tulip shoots, some rimmed in a narrow band of red, an inch high in the front yard.

    Taking Malone out first thing in the morning....all is so still, except for the sounds of wild birds all around, filling the air with whistles and calls. You can feel birdie love in the air, and spring chickies on the way.

    Being able to have the house open, when it's not too cold or too hot.

    Opening the windows and enjoying that beautiful fresh spring air. Listening to the soft singing of happy birds outside. Enjoying the most ***perfect*** weather of the year, and having gorgeous colorful blossoms and flowers in the backyard.

    Feeling the sun is getting stonger and seeing the flowers popping up in the yard.

    Putting seeds in the soil and watch them grow.

    I hope I can add the European spring too (not just the North American ):

    I love the crocusses as they are the first bright colours in the grey and brown tones of our winter. They appeared immediately the first day the snow was melting 2 weeks ago.
