Dear Jill Brown, Thank you for your letter. It’s so wonderful to hear from you. In your letter you asked me what is my favorite time of the year. I love spring. It is a wonderful season. Spring comes and nature awakens from its winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights become shorter. The ground is covered with fresh green grass and the first spring flowers. How lovely the white snowdrops are! There are new leaves and blossoms on the trees.Many people like spring more than other seasons. It is very pleasant to watch how the nature awakens from the winter sleep. In spring we can go to the country and have a walk in the woods or by the river, play ball-games, lie in the sun and even have a swim if the water is warm enough. I will write to you soon again! All the best.
