Spring in the Barossa Valley

Spring time releases so much movement in the bush

Snakes awaken to their hunger; grumpy beyond belief

Stumpy tails and lizards of all shapes; sunning on the roads

Magpies, Crows and Eagles sit upon their nests

Roses bloom at the ends of the valley’s long rows of vines

Everything is green and lush; so many different hues

Such a riot of colours; so many flowers in bud and bloom

Everywhere is movement; everywhere is sunshine

Everywhere is life growing up sure and strong

The valley comes alive after months of dreary days

The sun’s come out; but winds still come

Spring is the “In-between”

Not steaming hot yet; just a taste of what’s to come!

So we struggle on; we put on our layers and take them off

We wonder what’s to come in the next few days and weeks

As we glory in the sun’s bright rays in between the cloudy gusts

Then we snuggle up as the rain falls down

The snow upon our hills; the frosty mornings

Come to us in fits and starts; the weather can’t decide

So we just take it as it comes and glory in our lives!
