10 things I love about a Manitoba Spring

1. The sound of various birds announcing their arrival - robins, mourning dove, kill deer & meadow lark.
2. The first johnny jump- ups that bloom as soon as the the warm rays of sunshine touch them & they burst out in bright colours even though they may be surrounded by patches of snow.
3. The sheen of green on distant trees.
4. Rhubarb sprouting up green & growing fast each day.
5. The first bright yellow dandelion. There is not a better bouquet of flowers a mom can receive than a fistful of spring dandelions picked by a child & presented with a smile & "I picked these just for you, Mommy."
6. The smell of the first freshly mowed lawn.
7. The sound of childrens' laughter coming from a playground.
8. The sound & smell of fresh rain.
9. Brightly blooming tulips.
10. Spring blossoms.
