    Default Happy Spring - 2011



    Ah, the blessings of spring
    They bring renewed hope
    A joyful new outlook on life
    The heart’s dream of everlasting love
    The trees are dressed in beautiful blossoms
    Flowers emerging from a renewed earth
    Birds singing in the trees
    Bringing smiles to a winter weary heart
    A windy sunny afternoon
    Sounds of rustling trees and wind chimes
    Clears the cobwebs of the mind
    Bringing joy to the soul
    Yes, the blessings of spring
    Fill my heart with hope
    My soul with excitement of surprises to come
    My spirit with everlasting love
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

    Beautiful poem and picture. I, however, am a fall lover. Spring here signals the prelude to a brutal, viciously hot summer. It's not uncommon for it to be over 100 degrees for weeks on end. I'm uncomfortable at anything over 75 degrees (I must be evolved from Eskimo blood or something). Those of you that just came out of the deep freezing winter, I'm happy for you to welcome spring. Know that I envy your ideal summers up there.

    Beautiful poem. Still waiting for spring to arrive here! It is wonderful to see the changing of the seasons. I welcome each of them when they approach.

    Thank you for sharing. I was going to take my son out to a local state park today to celebrate the first day of spring, but he's decidedly sick today. It's a shame, since he's been talking about the first day of spring since January.

    I'm so glad it's finally Spring! Looking forward to sunshine and warm weather, wearing sandals, retiring the cold-weather clothes to the back of the closet, picnics, gardening, and more!
