So the other day, I did a lesson about spring,
0
740
2880
00:03
and I thought because it was such a nice spring day,
1
3620
2240
00:05
I should come out and do a little bit of a review for you.
2
5860
3540
00:09
As you can see, I'm wearing my spring jacket,
3
9400
3130
00:12
and I'm also wearing my rubber boots.
4
12530
3120
00:15
It's nice to have rubber boots in the spring,
5
15650
2292
00:17
so that when you walk in something like this puddle,
6
17942
2828
00:20
and we have lots of puddles, my feet don't get wet.
7
20770
3780
00:24
We've been having quite a few spring showers lately.
8
24550
3090
00:27
So there's definitely puddles in the driveway,
9
27640
3370
00:31
and it's nice to have rubber boots,
10
31010
1420
00:32
so I can walk through them without getting my feet wet.
11
32430
3520
00:35
When you walk over here,
12
35950
833
00:36
you can notice that the grass is turning green.
13
36783
3947
00:40
It's really nice to see the grass turning green.
14
40730
2860
00:43
Soon we'll have to mow it.
15
43590
1650
00:45
It certainly is a lot nicer than it was a few weeks ago
16
45240
2474
00:47
when it was just really, really brown.
17
47714
3666
00:51
This tree though, doesn't have leaves yet.
18
51380
3070
00:54
It is going to leaf out in the next couple of weeks.
19
54450
3560
00:58
Right now, you can see that this tree has buds on it,
20
58010
4020
01:02
and inside the bud are probably tiny, tiny leaves
21
62030
3200
01:05
waiting to just come out in a few weeks.
22
65230
2520
01:07
I can't wait for this tree to leaf out,
23
67750
2380
01:10
because then I will have some shade,
24
70130
2050
01:12
and I can sit under there on a hot day,
25
72180
2740
01:14
and the sun won't burn me,
26
74920
2700
01:17
one of the problems that I have sometimes
27
77620
1585
01:19
in the spring and in the summer.
28
79205
2695
01:21
Now unfortunately, the geese,
29
81900
2170
01:24
which usually migrate south in the winter,
30
84070
3357
01:27
and come back in the spring, they're not here today.
31
87427
3293
01:30
Actually, that's not true.
32
90720
870
01:31
They were here earlier this morning,
33
91590
1850
01:33
and they decided to go somewhere else.
34
93440
2650
01:36
I thought that they would be in the video,
35
96090
2160
01:38
but I'll show you some geese
36
98250
1710
01:39
maybe in another video sometime.
37
99960
1943
01:42
As we walk this way,
38
102750
1120
01:43
I just wanna say it's nice to be outside in the spring.
39
103870
3970
01:47
In the springtime,
40
107840
1080
01:48
there's a lot of opportunities to go outside for fresh air.
41
108920
4350
01:53
I am really enjoying the fresh air and the spring breeze
42
113270
5000
01:58
that's blowing this morning.
43
118500
1090
01:59
Hopefully it's not making the audio sound weird.
44
119590
3480
02:03
Sometimes when it's too windy, that happens.
45
123070
3050
02:06
Hey, when you look at my vehicles,
46
126120
1730
02:07
the red van has normal tires on it,
47
127850
2830
02:10
but the blue van still has snow tires on it.
48
130680
3670
02:14
One of the things we do in spring
49
134350
1360
02:15
is we take the snow tires off our vehicles.
50
135710
2342
02:18
We take the winter tires off, and we put on normal tires.
51
138052
4171
02:24
If I'm quiet, you can hear a bird chirping,
52
144010
2940
02:26
definitely another sign of spring.
53
146950
2503
02:31
Hopefully my microphone is picking that up.
54
151010
2203
02:35
As we walk this way,
55
155930
1090
02:37
you'll see that this tree has buds on it as well.
56
157020
2990
02:40
Soon, these three trees will leaf out,
57
160010
2860
02:42
and we'll have lots of shade over here too.
58
162870
2520
02:45
And I'm glad I have my rubber boots on still,
59
165390
2200
02:47
because if you can see down here, there's a lot of mud.
60
167590
4500
02:52
You can even see my footprints after I step here.
61
172090
2820
02:54
So I'm glad I'm wearing rubber boots,
62
174910
1900
02:56
so that I can step in the mud with no problems.
63
176810
4090
03:00
I was going to show you daffodils and tulips,
64
180900
2940
03:03
but I actually think there's only daffodils here.
65
183840
3850
03:07
So this is a bed, a flower bed.
66
187690
2910
03:10
These are daffodils.
67
190600
1410
03:12
Those are the nice yellow flowers.
68
192010
1520
03:13
They will bloom in about two or three weeks.
69
193530
2970
03:16
And hopefully we can get some together into bouquets,
70
196500
4900
03:21
and sell them.
71
201400
1770
03:23
But hey, anyways,
72
203170
890
03:24
thank you so much for watching this little review lesson.
73
204060
3000
03:27
I hope you enjoyed walking out here with me.
74
207060
3240
03:30
I hope you enjoyed a little bit of nature,
75
210300
2200
03:32
the sounds of birds chirping,
76
212500
2040
03:34
seeing the little buds on the trees, and all that.
77
214540
2620
03:37
I hope that you learned a lot of vocabulary about spring,
78
217160
2960
03:40
and I hope you're having a good spring yourself
79
220120
1850
03:41
if you're in the Northern Hemisphere.
80
221970
1950
03:43
Have a good day, I'll see you Friday, I guess,
81
223920
2750
03:46
with a live stream, I hope to see you there, bye.
