In honor of the first full day of Spring, Asa wrote a song celebrating all that springtime in New England has to offer. This parody was inspired while on walk when we saw a wild turkey roosting in a pine tree. What better tune to use than the “Twelve Days of Christmas,” because it is about time that Spring has its own song. If you don’t feel like singing the entire song with Asa, I recommend scrolling down to the 12th day.
