Welcome Spring!!

Who else is excited about Spring?!?!

The flowers, the warm weather, the baby animals, picnics, of course, Easter....I love it all!! This winter has really, really made me miss warm weather so I'm ready to take in all Spring has to offer - starting with flowers! I'd really like to grow lots and lots of flowers this season...stay tuned to see how it goes! Since I'm not great with plants, I'm hoping this year things will be different - and if not, I guess I can always get some from a nursery. ;)

Just to help ya get in the Spring mood, here's a poem (from one of my favorite poet's!)

A Prayer in Spring

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;

And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,

Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;

And make us happy in the happy bees,

The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird

That suddenly above the bees is heard,

The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,

And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,

The which it is reserved for God above

To sanctify to what far ends He will,

But which it only needs that we fulfil.

~ Robert Frost
