Little bread-and-butterflies kiss the tulips
And the sun is like a toy balloon
There are get up in the morning glories
In the golden afternoon
There are dizzy daffodils on the hillside
Strings of violets are all in tune
Tiger lilies love the dandy lions
In the golden afternoon...

Spring will be making its grand entrance this weekend.  I am looking forward to the brilliant sunlight and the warm breezes that sway the buds that are ready to blossom on the trees. In addition to the warmth of the sunlight, I love the hypnotic sound of the rain that rhythmically falls upon my roof. Rain or shine, spring is wonderful.

I love how nature comes back to life with grand splendor. You can see daffodils growing in fields, and you can you hear birds chirping their happy tune. Another sign of spring is the beautiful farm fields that are freshly tilled or observing the newborn calves as they cling to their mother's side. If you have never been to a farm before or are looking to experience the spring season at its best, I suggest visiting one of our farms. Whether you are visiting a farm that has livestock, crops, flowers or an historic farm you will get the full understanding of how spring brings a natural renewal. Some of my favorite agricultural sites are:

• Couttes Berry Farm
• Cherry Valley Vineyards
• Reminiscent Gardens
• Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm

Many local farms in the Pocono Mountains offer tours and have items for sale. So enjoy the bright yellow of the daffodils, or the song of the robin. But most of all enjoy the beautiful weather with your family. Until next time... celebrate family, friends and traditions.
