Spring
I’ll
start here since I have a spring birthday. Blue skies, trees and shrubs
bursting into leaf, blossom buds appearing – sometimes even before the leaves,
spring showers and soft breezes. Slowly lengthening daylight hours. Cool
nights. Birdsong. Baby animals and birds.
Summer
Sunshine,
dappled shade, trips to the beach, lake, river. Barbecues. Warmth. Water play.
Christmas, holidays, salads. Blue skies and sudden downpours. Stone fruit and
berries – picked fresh if possible. Crickets and cicadas singing. Gentle
breezes.
Autumn
Cooler
mornings. Changing leaves, red, green, orange, yellow, brown. Dew lingering on
leaves and flowers, first frosts. Clear skies. Indian summers. Cool breezes,
surprise showers.
Winter
Shorter
days, longer nights, cosy evenings, comfort food. Stormy days, stormy nights,
rain, frosty air, maybe snow ? Woolly hats and scarves. Camellia, Magnolia,
Rhododendron, Daffodil braving the chilly air, a sign of what is to follow.
