Coaxing Spring Along

Welcome, Spring! We don't want to come on too terribly strong and scare you off, but we can hardly contain ourselves. We love you, man!

You hadn't even fully made it on the scene this week and we already had broken out the scooters and sidewalk chalk!

Please don't interpret our unbridled enthusiasm as pressure to perform, Spring. {Our garage and basement would agree that a gradual orientation is probably the best course of action.}

We just want you to know that we are in your corner / on board / willing to do our part at a moment's notice. We believe in you, Spring!

{It looks like our collective coaxing is paying off -- I saw baby buds on our Mountain Ash today!}

Come on, Spring! You got this!
