A poem for Spring
Green shoots reach from the ground testing the air
Gathering sun and rain
Blessing us with their promise to bloom




Cinco portentos de la primavera y un poema
Un poema de primavera
Tallas verdes extienden de la tierra probando el aire
Colectando sol y lluvia
Regalándonos con su promesa de florecer
~~~
¡Mi bici! My bike!

Looking forward to your words and photos about spring.
Háblame de tiempo en tu región 🙂
¡Olé! –Rebecca

Thank you, Sadje. Our inch of snow last night will be a good drink for the upcoming flowers.

Green shoots ‘testing the air’ – I love that image! That’s exactly what it feels like. Personally, I’m not entirely sure if it’s worth while coming out of hibernation yet… but that’s perhaps just the Scottish weather playing havoc with my spring feelings…

I understand, we received an inch of snow last night. However, the plants are glad for the drink, I think.

It always amazes me to think how strong these budding leaves must be to break through what often is hard, cold soil. Thanks for contributing to my challenge Rebecca!

Yes they are strong. I think the pointed shape may help too. Thanks for hosting.

It is fiction, which talks about climate change, a devastating heat wave in India, and how India might lead the movement to counter climate change. However, the book is reaaaally long (700pgs?)

I will surely check it out.
As you say it’s fictional. I will consider it for sure.
I have been reading too much of self help books and now I’m bored.
India, china, USA and few more countries have to do something about the climate change.
India is among top polluters of the world.

USA is also a big polluter; car emissions, airplane travel, coal, methane from cows and food scraps.

I didn’t mentioned as I didn’t want to offend any American here.
Such blame game can hurt sentiments

Thanks, Devang. I brought it up because I think we in the US could be more mindful of the resources we consume. If it takes 5 earths to support my habits, maybe I need to make some changes.
