Spring Has Sprung<br />
Outburst Writer: Jacob Cushing<br />
Summer is too hot with little rain.<br />
Winter is too cold with lots of snow. Fall<br />
is confused and can’t make up its mind<br />
on whether it should rain or snow so it<br />
chooses both. Spring, on the other hand, is<br />
a perfect mix of all the seasons.<br />
Spring is a time when the snow<br />
melts and the flowers grow anew. Spring is<br />
a time when cooped up kids stop bothering<br />
their parents and go outside to play. Spring<br />
is a time of long walks, beautiful temperatures,<br />
picnics and tranquility. Except<br />
for the occasional storm, spring is a time<br />
for nature to be in harmony. Everywhere<br />
we look plants are growing, baby squirrels<br />
are carrying their first acorns and little<br />
birds are learning how to fly. A slight, cool<br />
breeze calms the senses.<br />
Spring is one of the few times you<br />
can take your shoes off and lie in the grass<br />
for hours without any worries. In the summer<br />
you have to worry about dehydrating<br />
and burning to a crisp (I do anyway), and<br />
I dare you to take your shoes off and walk<br />
in the snow during the winter; it won’t be<br />
pretty.<br />
Going with friends or family to have<br />
a picnic on a grass hill, drinking tea and<br />
eating sandwiches is perfect for a spring<br />
day. If you’re lucky, you might even see<br />
the Easter bunny running by. Spring is<br />
a time to rejoice in our blessings and be<br />
thankful for what we have.<br />
