Springtime

 

Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
To-day the glint of green is there;
Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!

~L.H. Bailey

No matter how long the winter,

Spring is soon to follow.

~ Proverb

A wooden pecking toy from when I was little!

No winter lasts forever;

No spring skips its turn.

~ Hal Borland

Huge nest from Pottery Barn filled reindeer moss and white eggs from geese and emu.

All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. 
On the first day of spring, 
I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. 
I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar.

~ Helen Hayes

Antique paper mache' bunny mold.

No details were left "behind" on this little guy.

First a howling blizzard woke us,
Then the rain came down to soak us,
And now before the eye can focus ---
Crocus.

~Lilja Rogers



That's how I know that spring is coming here
in the cold Midwest. I saw our first crocus pop out
of the brown earth. I would have taken a picture,
but my dogs seem to have trampled it on their path!

Ooops.

Happy Spring!
