Spring
Nature is adorned with green, plants are growing.
This a time of renewal and fertility after the dark and lean season.We welcome the bright season as the Sun warms the Earth.
A lot of flowers are blooming and birds are singing.
We can ear the cuckoo and enjoy beautiful cherry, plum and apple blossom trees.
