The ABC's Of Spring

Well, I think that it's time to for the ABC's of Spring.

We are looking at double digit temperatures coming for the next week.

Yesterday I noticed that there were actually swollen buds on my Ivory Silk Lilac tree in front of my home.

The creek behind our home, was rushing furiously over the small water fall from the fast melt we have been experiencing the past couple of days.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery

Y - Yellow - definitely a colour that says Spring to me

Z - Zipping around on my bicycle
