Spring-Loaded

Fall is my favorite season because of all things fall. Winter is my favorite when the yard work is finally over and I can curl up under a blanket on the couch. Summer is perfect when I’m on a beach.

But spring. Spring is where it’s at. It’s buzzing with potential and unpredictability. I just took a walk, and the sky was breathtaking. To the west, a giant dark cloud loomed over the neighborhood like a tidal wave on pause. Stars twinkled in a patch of periwinkle between masses of dusky, gray-pink clouds.

A rabbit scurried in front of me while my sister’s dog stuck her nose deep into a shrub.

A couple strode by, hand-in-hand as they chattered, and other dogs on leashes wagged, sniffed, and yipped.

It’s alive out there!

  1. I agree with the idea that spring is “buzzing with potential and unpredictability.” That’s a great way to describe it!
