Spring Idioms
Spring has just started in my country, Argentina. Argentina is located in South America, so our spring time runs from September to December.There are some interesting idiomatic expressions related to this wonderful time of the year. Some of them, because they're in English, refer to Spring as happening in the months of March, April and May.
