First warm day of spring 🐦 🌷

Warmth on skin, a gentle breeze,
Lake Ontario’s waves, a soothing tease,
Snowdrops rise, and robins sing,
Spring’s sweet awakening, winter’s sting.

The Adirondacks, a misty hue,
Green shoots burst forth, all anew,
Maple syrup’s scent, a sweet delight,
First warm day, pure Upstate light.

The thaw’s sweet magic, all around,
Nature’s palette, vibrant sounds,
A fresh beginning, free from snow,
Upstate spring, my heart does know.
