Spring


Oh ! lovely spring I am so in love with you.

I have waited and sometimes not very patiently for spring to arrive
and
it has been everything and even more than I remembered.

I have been so delighted by the warm days, the cool nights
and
the largest moon ever.

I have opened all my windows and thrown back the curtains to enjoy once again the pleasure of
awakening early in the morning to gentle breezes and the sound of songbirds.

The garden is up and it gives me so much joy to have my morning cup of coffee
  outside just looking at it.
Can you tell I have garden love?

I should spring clean today
but
a little brown bird sang in the tree "come and play with me today."

So I just quickly moved a few things around in
the dining room to make it look more like spring
and
I made  my way back outside
because
here on the Texas Gulf Coast
spring can be very short.


 
    

Tonight you will find me dancing in the moonlight.

  9. Oh Dottie. At least you HAVE spring. As we speak, between six and eight inches of snow are forecast. I cannot even think about it. Loved your post! Susan

  13. I'm pretty giddy about spring too. Of course, around here it came and then in some sort of cruel joke, the winter came back. Yikes!

  17. We just returned from the Georgia coast where the azaleas were in full bloom, and flowers were ablaze in color. Here in the Atlanta area spring is showing up but it has not reached its peak.
    It was rather chilly here today, but I needed the light so I kept my front door opened anyway and put on a sweat shirt. At the nursery I went ahead and bought some flowers to put out (I good not stand waiting any longer). I will keep them in the garage at night and let them sit in the sun during the day until it warms up a bit more. Yes, I think we are all ready for spring. This winter seemed overloaded with cold days.
