Spring is here at last! 

Bulbs are lying in the ground
They’re sleeping, they’re sleeping
Bulbs are lying in the ground
They’re everywhere, all around
Awaken, Awaken
All the birds are singing
All the birds are chirping
Let’s go outside and sing 

Traditional children’s song

Spring at last!

After a long and cold winter with a lot of snow spring has arrived in the Netherlands. Although spring begins officially on Sunday, temperatures rose to around 15 degrees Celsius in many places in the Netherlands on Thursday. Trees are blooming, while the birds have returned from their over-wintering and are starting to chirp. The lambs are frolicking in the meadows. Very soon the cafés will open and guests will sit on the terrace and soak up the first rays of sun with a drink. And without a coat!

Wow! Lovely Spring, Lovely video and Lovely music...Nature always inspires and makes me strong. Spring after Winter is the greatest gift of Nature. Impatience is the mother of all crimes. Nature teaches us the virtues of patience. Nature rewards the patient with her treasures and so does my soulmate.
