Spring

Although I love winter a lot, sometimes it gets to be too long for me. This winter would be a perfect example. I feel like it's been winter for 2 years. That's why I'm ready for spring.
Spring just makes me feel happier. It takes out the winter blues and thaws out my bones. I can start going outside with just a t-shirt or sweatshirt on instead of having to carry around that big winter coat everywhere I go. All the snow is melting, and I can finally see the grass again. The grass is turning green and beginning to grow again.
To me, the big downfall of spring is all the sloppy roads and driveways. I grew up in a house where the access to our garage was only by a gravel driveway. And of course, every spring we had to deal with the sloppy driveway. It seemed like it would take forever for it dry out. We would take our 4-wheeler, with a drag behind it, up and down the alley every day. I remember coming home from school and doing this for quite a while before I would go hang out with friends. But that's just about the only thing about spring that I don't like.
There are many other things that I like about spring that completely outweigh my dislike of spring. I can go for walks around town or wherever I wanna go and not be freezing cold. The trees are starting to blossom and everything is starting to gain color back. If you think about it, spring is kindof like a crayon and the earth is like a coloring book. When spring comes around, it takes all the white snow and just adds color to the page. Also another thing that I like about spring is just the clear, sunny days. I can look out the window and see blue sky and absolutely no snow fluttering down through the sky. Like I said earlier, I love winter and snow, but sometimes it just gets to be too long.
One more thing that I love, is kind of a mixture of winter and spring. This would be sitting out on the ice, on a bucket, in a t-shirt or sweatshirt, with a couple friends, and just catching panfish. Now that walleye season is over, I like to go catch the panfish. They are just fun to catch and I like to catch them whenever I have the chance. That is until all the rest of the ice melts away. Then the next step is summer.
I wouldn't say that I love spring, but I do like it some years. It's just a breath of fresh air and I can go outside and stay outside for longer periods of time. I can work on things outside rather than in the house or in the garage. This year I'm ready for spring. I think it is just about here but I am slightly disappointed because I have heard that we are supposed to get another foot of snow. When the snow is finally all gone, I can finally clean my truck and get all the salt and gravel off of it before it ruins something on it. I really really hope we don't ge that extra snow.
