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.
