Spring at Home & Sea
Spring at Home
Spring has arrived at our home.
The grass is getting greener.
The flowers have been lying dormant,
but now, they peek out from beneath the soil
which has protected them from the harshness of winter.
The days are longer and the breeze is warmer.
Soon, the air will begin to fill with familiar floral smells.
They define the season around our home.
The familiar buzz of our honeybees will be heard throughout the yard.
The birds will be travelling back to us
with stories of their time away,
chirping and chattering on the lawn.
We love this time of year
when everything seems to awaken.
Spring at Sea
Spring has also arrived at the cove.
The water is getting warmer.
The Riggin has been lying dormant,
but now, she will emerge, peering out from beneath the plastic cover
which has protected her from the harshness of winter.
The work days are longer and the breeze is warmer.
Soon, the air will begin to fill with the familiar smells of pine & paint.
They define the season around our docks.
The familiar buzz of sanders & saws will be heard throughout the vessel.
The crew will be travelling back to us
with stories of their time away,
laughing and chatting on the deck.
We love this time of year
when everything seems to awaken.
