SPRING

Once again the woolens are dry-cleaned and packed in ziplock bags with balls of naphthalene 

The needle on the weighing scale shows less than previously 

With the shedding of layers of clothing.

What a relief!

Morning mist and allergies have taken a back seat 

Replaced by sunshine streaming, through the window panes

Barren fields have turned emerald green, interspersed with golden marigolds, and yellow mustard flowers, waving in the breeze 

There is a feeling of euphoria all around with the colors of spring 

making a splash wiping the starkness of the winter season
