The spring in northland comes late and soon is cut short by the longer hot summer. The first sign of it is the gradual rise of temperature. As a result, we can see the melting ice and the arrival of sleet. Then we feel the warm atmosphere and begin to reduce our clothes. The thin willow twigs turn supple day by day and the soil in the fields caves in under our steps. This year the color of this season light green initially appeared in the plot of Chinese onion seedlings in our garden. Subsequently, a few dusty grasses sprouted in front of our shed. After several times of raining, at the roadsides new grasses under the dead ones last year are extending their scope quickly. And we can observe leaf buds on the willows and flower ones on the poplars. Most of the fields have been plowed and newly fertilized ridges built for the oncoming sowing.
