Spring in Acorn Woods

Spring is here!! There's no denying it! 

Even while our day to day indoor activity may seem somewhat stagnant 
due to the ongoing quarantine, the world out of doors is growing more 
vibrant and and completely buzzing with life and activity!! 

The hosta and peonies are poking up through the ground with new possibility!
The drooping wisps on the weeping willow are bursting forth with new verdure!
The clouds race across the sky only to be gathered up and grow heavy with rain!

And deep in the Acorn Woods, that lovely. large grove of trees just beyond Elderberry Hedge,
the always enthusiastic bunny, Bluebell, was hopping to every nest, den, and burrow, 
showing every woodland creature she met her beautiful crown of spring flowers!

Well, as usual, Bluebell's excitement and enthusiasm was catching!

Soon fox cubs and badgers, bear cubs and skunk kits, as well as fawns, squirrels, 
mice, and raccoons were scrambling through brambles and out into the pastures
to collect bright and cheerful flowers for their very own Spring crowns!

Daffodils, hyacinth, ranunculus, forget-me-nots, crocuses, tulips, snowdrops, and lilies were 
brought to The Burrows, where Bluebell and her sisters carefully tied and twisted the blooms
into delicate circlets that soon graced the heads of the very appreciative animals!

Spring is really a time of excitement! And that excitement can be contagious!!
I hope you get caught up in it and discover reasons to smile and rejoice!!
