Spring is coming...let's wake up to life!

The little ones are waking up, the first snowdrops and crocuses are peeping, the birds are singing... spring is coming. It makes its presence known loudly to us.

Work in the garden.

First, we should tidy up the garden—clear it of leaves, branches, and other winter excesses—and prepare the garden tools.

Once the garden is clear of the remnants of winter, it's time to dig the beds - the soil needs a breather before we can plant the first seeds. Contact with the soil is a pleasant and, in many ways, healing activity. When the seeds are ready in the ground, we take care of them by watering them and seeing what they turn out to be.

In March, it is a good time to plant, for example, raspberries, strawberry plants, carrots, parsley, lettuce, peas, dill, onions, and garlic. Sow seeds of peppers and tomatoes for pre-growing seedlings.

We also prune the trees, and they gradually return our care in the form of flowers and, later on fruits.

We can catch rainwater in barrels and use it to water our gardens.

The spring season is ideal for planting a hedge, which in time will give us privacy and cosiness.

A walk in the woods and a city experience.

After working in the garden, we can relax in nature - the forest beckons with the scent of pine needles and the singing of birds.

If we're lucky, we might spot a scarecrow tending the trees on our walk or catch a glimpse of a fleeing hare or roe deer. We observe the tracks of forest animals and recognize who they probably belong to.

Nowadays, encounters with forest animals are more frequent, even in cities. I remember when a wild pig ran right past a lady at a bus stop. The lady froze for a moment, a mixture of surprise and fear in her eyes. Other people watched what was happening. Some stared in disbelief, others looked amused. The wild boar brushed against her and sped off into the woods. Loud comments and relieved laughter followed from all present.

Such a moment is remembered for a lifetime. But I wouldn't want to be in her shoes. After all, I'd probably be pretty scared.

Exercise and sporting activities.

For some of us, spring means the beginning of sports unless we play sports all year round.

We can go for a run or a bike ride, skate, and do outdoor activities that are more enjoyable now than in the winter.

Sometimes, we still struggle with spring fatigue.

It's good to include exercise in the daily routine, e.g. "Sun Salutation".

Although I confess that I don't quite manage it.

I like spring, it seems such a fresh and cheerful season. I like the beautiful birdsongs the best 🙂

What about you? Do you like spring? What kind of exercise or movement do you prefer these days? Do you enjoy working in the garden?
