                                              Spring time is wonderful in Moldava .
                                  There is little snow in the beginning of March . The old lady Odochia shakes her coat , as it says    
                                  an old Moldovan Legend . Winter fights with spring . Finally , spring wins and the nature puts on a
new , beautiful and fresh robe . The sky is bright and the sun shines . The days become longer and the nights shorter .
      In April , the birds fly among trees and sing their sweet songs . Some of them find out their last year nests , but
some of them try to build new ones . On the tree branches appear first buds and leaves . Then their flowers bloom .
The white and pink petals delight and gladden our soul . The flowers in the gardens and in the fields get out their
noses from the soil . People become thankful and happy .
      In the fields peasants and farmers start working in order to have rich crops . Everything is done with love ,
pleasure and desire .
      In spring women are busy too . They take care of their homes , prepare for Easter holidays . This is a religious
holiday that has been celebrating since ancient times , it has to be met with a clean heart .
        May month is awesome , inspiring and extremely impressive . It is like a paradise . Dark and light green colo ur
prevails everywhere . The first fruits , the cherries , can be tasted by the end of May . The flavour of strawberries is
magnificent in this month .
      The country life is very interesting during spring . I live in a village , and life is quite different from city one . While
parents are performing different tasks , the children are playing in the field or on the bank of the river from morning
to evening . They enjoy every minute in the fresh spring air . The next day they continue playing without getting tired .
On Saturday evening the popular music can be heard , the people dance and cheer , because with the beginning of
spring , it begins dancing in the villages .
      I love spring time , I love my beautiful and small country .
      Wish everybody has a peaceful and joyful spring time !
