List, the wind is from the south!
And the orchard-bloom is falling
Sweet as kisses on the mouth.
In the dreamy vale of beeches
Fair and faint is woven mist,
And the river's orient reaches
Are the palest amethyst.
Every limpid brook is singing
Of the lure of April days;
Every piney glen is ringing
With the maddest roundelays.
Come and let us seek together
Springtime lore of daffodils,
Giving to the golden weather
Greeting on the sun-warm hills."
- Lucy Maud Montgomery, Spring Song
Spring is definitely upon us...each day brings new surprises in weather, blossoms, blooms, and excitement. Yesterday we reached a high of 78 degrees with sunshine, today it's cloudy, drizzily, and 50...tomorrow will not exceed 40 and they're even calling for some snow showers.
Spring is a season that always has been overshadowed by Autumn (my favorite!); however, as I've aged (*ahem*) I've grown a deeper appreciation for the new life that Spring brings with. And, a greater excitement when little things happen like the daffodils my daughters plucked from the side of our house last night.
Life is so wonderful.
