Spring is life.

The spring is here and life feels wonderful. The sun is shining, the birds are twittering and the evenings are long and light. All these things make me happy so spring is absolutely the best season of the year.

First and best about spring is that it’s lovely to finally could be able to take out the sun lounger. Just lay there and enjoy the sun, drink a big cup of coffee and dream oneself away in a good book. Everything around you is beginning to grow and the lawn starts to get green. You can hear the snow melting and fall in drops from the roof. That’s life.

The second thing is that it’s time to pick out the barbecue. Clean the terrace and invite friends to a barbecue party. Meanwhile the adult watch after the dinner the children are playing games like “thief and police” and their laughter echoes between the houses. It’s like everyone and everything has awaked to life again and that’s making me happy. In some way it’s easier to spend time together when the spring comes and the evenings are warm and pleasant.

The third thing is that it’s time for gardening. I’m not so found of gardening the remainder part of the summer but in spring I think it’s really enjoyable. I like to saw tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs and other things to put out in the flowerbed and my little greenhouse.

During winter, days are short and dark. It’s dark when you go to work and it’s dark when you arrive at home again. I shouldn’t have said anything if our winters would have been just winters with sun and plenty of snow. But winters in Sweden nowadays are mostly rainy and grey. No skiing and no sun, really boring.

But when we talk about spring there is one thing which is greater than others. When you are sitting there in your sun lounger or have a nice barbecue evening with your friends you know that this is just the beginning. You know that you have the whole summer in front of you. There is plenty of time to spend together with others, go on holiday, swim and bath or just enjoy life. I’m loving it!
