Describe something you experience with each of your senses every SPRING
taste, touch, sight, hearing, scent
Wow, Lee Anna That is tough for me!
I will start with taste. Rhubarb is one of my favourites. I love the tartness of it. I remember eating a stalk fresh from the garden when I was a child. Mom gave me a bit of sugar in a bowl to dip it into. Now I make pies from it. Unfortunately, I have to buy the rhubarb as it doesn't grow well in my backyard.
Touch is more difficult. I can't think of anything in particular that I touch in the spring other than dirt. And I really don't like touching dirt or gardening because of the dirt. Funny, if I call it earth it sounds better. Maybe I can teach myself to not be bothered by it. I am always grateful for what the earth produces for us to enjoy.
Sight is easier. I just saw my first robin of the spring yesterday. Robins are always a welcome sign that winter is over or almost. Their cheery song is a delight to hear. The Cardinals have been singing more lately too. I am so blessed to get to hear their beautiful music. I relax merely at the thought of it.
There are a lot of farms in this area. I live close to downtown but the smells of the farms often waft through our neighbourhood. Although I don't enjoy the smell of manure I do enjoy the crops our farmers toil to produce. A more pleasant scent is the lilac tree that is in my neighbour's yard but its branches have reached over the fence to tantalize me. That is delightful.
Pictured above is Snoopy Rock. Fun! Who doesn't love Snoopy and his fun dance? I am glad that we got to see this rock formation.
