Sight- Pussy willows, crocuses, male robins.
Taste- Grandma Gray's fruit salad also.
Smell- Mud, snowmelt.
Sound- Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz," spring peepers.
Sensation- Tender shoots of grass, breezes touching skin in a way that had been forgotten ever since you imprisoned your epidermis in a coat sometime in October.
Sight: winter wheat on the farms on Sheridan Road
Taste: Hmmm? I can't think of one for this.
Sound: Red-winged Blackbirds
Smell: Worms after rain
