Spring is coming!

Hi! My name is Bloom and I'd like to tell you about my favorite season. It is Spring of course!

The three spring months are all very different. March is often cool and windy, April is the shortest of the three months and is rainy sometimes, May is the warmest of the three months and is in my opinion the most beautiful.

Spring brings more greenery, more animals and more sunshine. All the flowers, trees and plants begin to grow again. We see crocuses emerge from the ground, leaves appear on the trees and the grass gets longer and greener. We can see the spring flowers everywhere; Daisies, yellow Daffodils and Tulips of different colors. All the spring colors make me happy.

During spring, winter animals also awaken from their hibernation and days are getting longer. Spring not only affects nature, but also people. The longer days and greater amount of sunshine make most people happier and more active.

Let me not forget about Easter. You can know by the first day of spring when it is Easter. Because the first Sunday after the full moon is the date when Easter arrives.

 Look out the window! What do you see? The sky is blue, the sun shines, and everything is bright and colorful. 

Snow melts and the birds come back from the south.
