The sweet smell of spring

The flowers blossoming and blooming

The fresh air

The sun shining with warmth

The green grass coming anew

The birds beginning to sing

The trees thriving and developing their new leaves

The winter snow becoming a memory

Really,

Can we forget this past winter?

Spring a step closer to summer

Come on now

Did you really think that that is actually what comes

to my mind when I think about spring?

Get Real!

The real meaning of spring

Baseball

The new season

A fresh new start for all teams

The new players

The new uniforms

The diamond

The first pitch

The crack of the bat getting contact with the baseball

The pop of the glove catching the ball

The calls of an umpire

The bright green grass

The dirt and chalk spread around the infield

The homeruns

The outs

The new start for players to make a name for themselves

A clean slate

What would spring be without baseball?

What would baseball be without spring?
