How do these paragraphs look? I'm describing the changes Spring brings to my home town.
*******************************************************
For a week now, it's been so warm, the snow has started to melt. Where I live, this usually happens as early as mid-February, to as late as March. Yet it's April, and the field outside my house still looks like a cake covered in a thick layer of white frosting. However, the roads are clearing up in most places.
Through my eyes, the rivers of melted snow between snow and ice resemble rivers flowing through a great canyon. This is what it must feel ike to be an eagle flying through the sky to see such things far below. But melting snow also creates big puddles of water, and we have to watch out for cars driving by. I've had it happen to me several times before, but luckily, I never get drenched.
When I was a kid, I liked to step on the puddles covered with a thin layer of ice and watch as the cracks appeared and grew. Many kids like to splash in the puddles for fun. But now that the sun is now warming up the day at this time of year, those days will soon be over this year.
I enjoy Spring because it's the end of cold weather. I no longer have to walk because I can go biking which is refreshing and good exercise. Many people hate the cold, but no one does more so than those who have to go outside in such weather such as newspaper delivery boys. Spring is the most beautiful time of the year because of all the flowers that grow and bloom. Trees will blossom and recover their leaves. I love the fragrant smell and consider myself lucky to not have hay fever. Several days ago, I saw a squirrel run across the road. The birds are also returning from the south because I can hear them in the morning when I get up. Although I prefer silence, their songs are still a pleasant tune to my ears.
