~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first signs of spring and your heart sings. The buds glisten an iridescent green, birds let out their morning song and you feel the need to dig in the dirt. The pretty lace and cable on Chirp in a sunny color remind you that the dark winter is just a memory.

The lace and cable pattern is both written and charted.
