The spring in my front yard

         My front yard is a lovely place to be in spring. The first things you notice are two medium trees and one small tree standing in a triangle. The yard is on a gentle slope that goes down from the north side of our house to a road. The two medium trees stand right on top of the slope and in front of our living room window; the small tree is standing alone close to the road. When spring first starts, the grass in my yard starts to turn green, first yellowish green, then bright green. After a spring shower, robins start to visit our front yard. They walk with their heads up as if they are so proud of their bright orange chest. From time to time, the bird bend over to catch an earthworm from the grass, then you will see its dark gray back. It does not take long for the trees to blossom in spring. The small pear tree blossoms first with pure white flowers. When one of the medium trees blossoms, the entire tree is covered with flowers, but without any leaves. Its flowers are made of five petals and they come in white and all shades of pink. When wind blows, some of its branches brush against our living room window with a scratching sound. The other medium tree's flowers are white with tiny yellow stamens. They smell like a candy shop and attract many yellow and black bumblebees and colorful butterflies to our yard. The spring in our front yard is full of life. I sometimes wish I could stop the time!
