Is there anything more wonderful than listening to the first spring rain hit the ground? After a long cold Canadian winter, there isn't a better sound. Tonight I heard the first spring rain of 2021.

We Canadians have become accustomed to our long cold winters. Not all of us, but a lot of us, even enjoy playing outside in the wonderful white snow, that covers our land for 6 months out of our year.

All of the awesome winter sports we love, fill our spare time. Sports like hockey, curling, skiing, cross country and downhill. Tobogganing, snowball fights, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and our wonderful winter festivals are all great time fillers, for the long cold winters months.

But even we Canadian get to a point at the end of our winters, were we long to hear those first few drops of that unfrozen water hit the ground, that signaling in the beginning of spring. The soft sound of one drop after the other, is music to our frozen ears...lol

Spring rains ushers in warmer weather, new baby's, beautiful wildflowers and a wonderful change of landscape color. Like a beautiful white blank canvas, that an artist fills with imaginative colors. That wonderful clean looking white ground covering, finally melts away and is replaced with lovely springs long awaited colors.

I can't wait for all of the different shades of green to appear. The grass, leaves and even the green weeds are a welcome site. The greener it gets, the warmer it gets.

Now at the end of March, we Canadians are ready for all of the spring rains, and everthing that comes with them. The sound of it, the smell of it and the sight of it, fills all of us Canadians, with hand and heart warming joy. Welcome Spring 2021, we are ready for you.

All the best,
