Winter - with snow on the ground retired folk are Florida bound abandoning the blizzards, the bitter cold in search of high temperatures, and sun of gold Whereas happy children gambol, and play what better way to spend the day They'll build snow castles, and have snowball fights drink hot chocolate at the end of the night. Spring - the blossoming of wild flowers fresh-cut grass, and sun showers caterpillars transform into butterflies billowing clouds swim in the bluest of skies keeping busy in the garden with a hoe, and a rake Spring fever, Spring cleaning, and Spring break jumping in puddles, chasing a rainbow - or two walking on grass after the morning dew. Summer - sailing, swimming, camping, biking sun-bathing, barbeques, jogging, and hiking taking the youngsters for a day in the park walking along beaches long after dark watching the stars twinkle...no need to speak children laughing, playing hide-and-seek poison ivy, poison oak, wasps, hornets, bees just a few things to beware of when hiding near trees. Autumn - leaves change colours before falling to the ground no grass, or flowers to be found birds fly south, the trees are bare when strolling at night...take a sweater to wear lovers on a porch swing, admiring the moon all is quiet - except the loon squirrels gather nuts, groundhogs set to hibernate preparing for Winter - before it's too late.
