As the year begins the air is crisp, the skies are blue, and the grass is alive with envy. The bird’s chirp without acknowledgement of what is ahead of them. Just as the winter chill begins to unfold, spring peaks out of hiding and new life is born. The blossoms are painted variations of vibrant colors, animals of all shapes and proportions learning how to survive. Then when the climate begins to shift leaves abandon their former shades of green and begin to express alluring shades of orange, red, and yellow. Most animals prepare for hibernation or migrate to warmer locations; however those brave enough to endure the cold weather stay. And finally once again the beloved time commences were frost begins to form and if you’re lucky enough, you may be able to see snowflakes dancing in the air every once in a while. This cycle is inevitable and every year it is echoed.
