Spring fever

"Spring" the season when the resurrection of nature is taking place, after a long hibernation in winter's cold tomb, she speaks to all of creation with a voice from within. The trees listen and obey her commands and become fruitful their leaves open and come alive.
The frost breaks ground with the sun doing its part in bringing early seasonal flowers into bloom. Wild life is becoming energetic and resourceful. The task and duties nature has instilled in them are being carried out within their own domain. Each one of them contributing and fulfilling their responsibility, in the habitat in which they reside.
God has given us four seasons to live by. Of all of the four seasons, he chose spring as the season in which his son was to be crucified on the cross, to shed his blood for our sins, to die to give us eternal life, and to be resurrected as a symbol of love to all of God's living creation.
"In a pleasant spring morning all men's sins are forgiven " Henry David Thoreau
