Glancing at the calendar, I note that the first day of spring is just a few days away as I write this Warm Thoughts column. Yes, another spring is here this month, and the colors of spring will soon be all around us.
The redbird and robins will sing their songs of cheer, The green frogs will start croaking in the babbling brook, The flowers, grass, and trees will come to life. The geese and ducks will fly high as they quack and giggle in the sky. Children's joyful voices will fill the air as farmers plant seeds with hopes and prayer. Another spring will soon be here. We love to welcome sweet springtime. It is indeed a time of promise, hope, and joy.
An unknown author once wrote, “Every day can be a spring in your life, even though you are approaching the winter of your life and those sunset years.” As I was deep in thought about spring and the colors of springtime, a dear friend shared a poem entitled, “Winter Colors.” Some call winter dismal. I surely disagree. Winter has its colors, if you only stop to see. Red cardinal skipping through the hedge, The shimmering blue of the pond's water's edge. The mallard's head of velvet green, Made brilliant by the sun's golden sheen. The color of winter is not dead, But filled with colorful hues instead. Author unknown.
March 22nd is “As young as you feel day.”Everyone can take this day to remember that they are no older than they feel. March 15th is Hug a Farmer Day, and the week of March 15th is National Agriculture Week, dedicated to the farmers of America, and is designated to educate the people about agriculture in the United States. Farewell winter, and we welcome spring. Each season brings with it colors to brighten our lives.
More Warm Thoughts: As we watch for the signs of spring, let us hold the warmth of all those blessings of our seasons on our hearts. May you have many warm thoughts this spring season.
