Hello to Spring and goodbye to Winter Of the four seasons, spring is most definitely my favourite of all. It is the wake-up call we all need after the darker and colder days of winter. Spring nestles between winter and summer and lasts for a 3-month period, March, April, and May. This year, in the northern hemisphere, spring will commence on 20th March. The spring season brings with it optimism and hope, new beginnings, and increase in temperatures. The days are longer and brighter, we will hear birds singing their tunes again, and we can spend more time outdoors breathing in fresh air. Spring symbolises transformations after months of colder weather and dormancy in gardens and parks. Flowers and shrubs come back to life, and bulbs spring back up from the ground. Animals come out of hibernation, and there are newborn chicks and lambs to bring joy to our souls. With more moisture in the air, our senses of smell are enhanced, and bright colours, budding trees and blooming bulbs give us a hit of dopamine, promoting happiness and the feelings of love within us.
