Today is the first day in our new month. It is June! The last month before summer vacation. Soon enough we will get our well deserved rest. It's been really nice out lately. I've gone swimming a lot in the past week. All of the bird's nests in our yard have been empty. The bird's gave us a nice little visit, but there time to go had to come at some point.

Spring is here, but soon to be over. The sun is roasting us like steak now. It has been 80-90F the past week. I've worn shorts for the past week. Also, I only have two games left in my regular season of baseball. It's been a fun year so far, and I wish it would never end. The NBA finals are on, and the Stanley Cup finals are on. This is a sign of spring to me because basketball and hockey are winter sports. They will soon be in the off season. Well it has been a lot of fun doing these enrtys. Thank you Mr. Williams for assigning this assignment. I will never forget it. It gave me a new way to look at spring.

Today is Sunday. It's really nice out today. The high temperature is supposed to be in the high 70's. Though it isn't as nice as the past couple days when it has been like being in the desert, when it was in the 80's. Spring has almost completely unfolded its good things, and its bad things. One bad thing is the darn mosquito's are back. I've been itching all over now cause they keep biting me. Well I guess with all the upsides of spring, there has to be some downsides too. Also, the other night I ate outside for dinner. My pool was opened yesterday too! Soon enough I will be able to swim again.

Spring is here with all of its things. The many good things, and few bad things. The only bad thing I've seen are the mosquitoes are back, but I guess I'll just have to deal with them. I ate outside for dinner the other night too. I was out in the nice warm air, and hearing all the birds singing in their choir as we ate our dinner. My pool was also opened yesterday. It's supposed to be a scorcher this week, so soon enough I'll get to swim yet again. Also, I am almost halfway through my baseball season. Soon enough unfortunately it will have to end. Spring has pretty much completely unfolded itself, and I'm happy about it.

Today is a little past the halfway point in May. This means soon enough we will be in the month of June, the last month in the school year. The May flowers have come up. The bright colors showing that spring is here. Also all the little birds aren't so little anymore. The baby's that hatched earlier are almost ready to come out of their nest and fly around Reading. They grew up so fast. They might even be too big for their mother to keep them warm now. Today is a nice day to do something outside. Though it is only 69F out, it is only sunny so it feels like 80F.

Spring is showing bright and warm. The rhododendrons, azaleas, and hostas are up. The rhododendrons pink faces, pretty and bright can be seen from far away to show everyone that it's spring. The little robins, no longer little. Almost ready to fly away from their nest. They've lived there for a couple of weeks now, but soon it will be the sad day that they will go. They may fly around Reading, and maybe next year they will be sitting on their own eggs. Spring is here, but soon will be gone.

Today is the third day in the fifth month of the year, May. It's time for flowers to grow, and for birds to fly home to Reading. Also, birds have begun nesting. I have a Robin's nest in my backyard arborvitae tree. The bright blue eggs gave away that some little Robin's would soon be flying around. It has been nice and toasty outside recently. Yesterday it was 80F outside. This means to me that summer is soon to come. The sun has been on a break for a while now, but it's time for it to return.

Spring is here, but is nearing its end. Today I saw Tony the ice cream man ride his van past the farmstand. Time for some nice and cold ice cream. The nest in my yard is full of Robin eggs. Soon they will hatch, and see the great outdoors for the first time. Only to see what nature has to give them. Now soon enough school will end. Only a few more weeks until all of us can rest until next September. Also, the spring dance is coming up this Friday. This is most likely our last dance which also shows me we are nearing the end of the school year. Spring is here now, but soon enough it will pass and summer will come.

Today is Monday. April vacation now sadly a thing of the past. Time to go back to school. It's a warm day today. Earlier today I roller bladed for a little bit. It was nice out so I walked home from school. Today the NHL play-offs are on. This is always a sign to me that spring is near, because it means another winter sport is almost over. Tomorrow is my brother A.J's birthday. This always tells me that April is almost over and that May is almost here. It's also fourth quarter in school now, and that tells me only a couple more weeks and summer vacation will be here!

Spring is in the air. I got new roller blades over vacation and I've used them everyday since I have gotten them. On Saturday it was my baseball team's opening game. This means a lot to me because baseball is my favorite spring sport. Also, a spring hockey tournament in Reading started just yesterday. Time to hit the ice again to practice over the off-season. Another thing yesterday is I played wiffle ball for the first time this year. I always play wiffle ball over the summer, so this tells me that summer is now soon to come. Now the rain is very constant. I notice that people's flowers are starting to grow in their yards. April showers bring May flowers. It's almost May so the flowers are starting to come. Spring is finally back and it is better than ever.

Today is a nice day. It isn't as nice as it has been, but it's still warm outside. It doesn't feel as warm as it really is outside because of the wind. Without the wind it would be warmer. It's the second Sunday in April now. I hear more birds in the morning singing their songs. I see more flowers outside. Their are now more bright colors to show that spring is here. Today is the last day for one of golf's biggest tournaments the Masters. All the best golfers in the world show up to try to go home with the green jacket on their body.

It's now probably about halfway through spring. The pear trees in my neighbor's yard are starting to get flowers on their branches. All those pretty white faces showing them selves to the nice and warm sun. College hockey season ended yesterday. The frozen four is over. BC won it all, bringing the trophy back to Chestnut hill. Tonight we are having steak for dinner, but not just any steaks. Grilled steaks on my parents' barbecue. Nice hot grilled steaks with the smell of burning fuel in the air. Also, in my neighbors' yard the forsythia is growing. Bright and yellow pretty faces for everyone to admire. Spring is here, but it feels more like summer.

Today is a warm day. The temperture today is going to be something around 80F. It's the warmest day so far this year. It's April now March is gone. It's time for the fourth month of the year to be here. The birds are out on trees, and singing their lovely songs with their fabulous voices. The robins start building their nests and laying their many eggs.

Spring is closer now. Today was the last game in our hockey regular season. Now it's time for playoffs. Yesterday I saw an American Robin in my neighbor's driveway, puffing out its dark orange chest. The robin is celebrating that spring is now here. Yesterday when I got home I wondered why my arms and legs were so red. I was burned! Sun burned! Also today we are buying an Easter lily for our house. Time for them to show themselves and celebrate that Easter is tommorow! Spring is here and here to enjoy now, and I am enjoying it.

Today is Palm Sunday. It's a sign that there is only one week left until it's time for Easter. It has rained a lot this week. Now the flowers in people's gardens are starting to bud. The temperature isn't as warm as it was last weekend. There are only two games left in the regular season of hockey for me then the playoffs begin. April is only four days away if you count today.

Spring is practically here now. On Monday I got an e-mail from my baseball coach. Today I'm getting all new baseball equipment. Cleats, pants, socks, glove, maybe even a bat if I'm lucky. Also, the other day on my way to school, I saw a little squirrel next to a tree in my neighbor's yard eating an acorn. Also in the woods there is skunk cabbage now. It may not look much like a skunk, but it sure does smell a heck of a lot like a skunk. Spring is pretty much here, and I'm loving it.

Today it is St. Patrick's day. It's a bright warm sunny day. It is so warm I didn't wear a jacket today when I played basketball outside with my friends. The thermometer in my mom's car said it is a burning 71F outside. Summer in the middle of the coming of spring. A nice hot day for everyone to go outside and have fun.

Spring has unfolded itself more now. Today in school some people were wearing shorts. It's time to celebrate this wonderful warm day. Today is St. Patrick's day a sign that Easter is almost here. Also over the week end we has continuous raining. April showers are what bring the May flowers. Speaking of flowers the farm stand has pansy's. Time for them to show their bright and colorful faces so that the hole world can see them. Also crocus' are starting to grow. Time to unfold themselves to the world. Spring has unfolded more and more and I'm sure thta it's almost here.

Today is one of the warmest days so far this year. It's somewhere around 50F outside. There is no snow whatsoever on the grass. The grass starting to show. Bright and green it's ready to go. There's not but one cloud in the bright blue sky. The sun is shining bright as it sets down to take its nap. For it has done its job for today on a nice warm day.

March is here and spring is closer! For college basketball March madness is going on. All the teams head to head fighting to become the champions. On the highway today I saw a person riding their motorcycle to celebrate the nice hot day today. My brother in college is currently on spring break right now. Also as I was riding in Reading, I happened to notice they drained out Sturges park. No more outdoor skating till next winter. Spring is unfolding itself more and more each week and I can't wait till it's here.

It’s a warm day today. It’s going to be around 40F this afternoon. The snow on the ground isn’t as white as it has been. It’s decreasing in size each day. It’s also starting to get softer and softer.

It’s the 21st of February. March is almost here. At the farm stand they’re selling daffodils. Bright yellow, they are now starting to show their pretty faces so the whole world can see. Football season has just ended. Boston Red Sox spring training has just begun down in Florida. Spring is coming, unfolding itself inch by inch.
