Spring Time


Springtime is great, during the winter everybody can't wait for spring. In fact there is a saying on the first of February is groundhogs day. That is when the groundhog comes out of the ground and if it sees its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter, but if it doesn’t, than it winter will stay longer and spring will come late.
Winter is such a depressing time of the year. It always is so gloomy, dark and cold. In fact, this winter actually reached the record for being so cold; here in Iowa it reached negative 38 degrees. And that was without wind-chill.
I think that springtime is the best season of the year. I think this because it’s the time where everything melts and the whether is warming up and 40 degrees has never felt so warm. There are only two seasons of the year that are not too hot and not too cold. And springtime is so much better than fall because it’s going from cold to warm instead of warm to cold. For instance, in the fall when the temperature goes from 100 degrees and the next week reaches as low as 50 degrees, that is when you pull out the jackets and put the tank tops and shorts away, however in the spring when the temperature goes from –12 degrees to 50 degrees the next week, that is when the shorts come back out.
The only bad part about spring is that the snow is melting away and it makes things very muddy and slushy, and then also it rains A LOT.
Even though fall is a great season, with all the color changing leaves and the nice weather, it still gets cold too fast and them before you know it, fall is gone and winter is here, which is depressing. However spring is great because it warms up which everybody loves.
