What is the logical middle word?

The idea is to think of 3 words that are connected in some logical way.

Then write a simple sentence using that word in English and Spanish..

Examples:

red --- ( ) --- white Answer = pink

Pink is a mixture of red and white. / Rosa es una mezcla de rojo y blanco.

Pink Rose. Rosa rosa.

winter --- ( ) --- summer Answer = spring

Spring follows winter. / La primavera sigue al invierno.

Springtime announcement to the bare trees

Give the "hidden" word from the previous post and then post your own 3 words BUT don’t show the middle one.
