The calendar may say the first day of spring, but here in Massachusetts, the weather is saying the first day of summer. Seriously. It was 80 degrees here yesterday! I have been busy raking and cleaning out the winter debris from my flower beds and am wearing the blisters to prove it - despite the gloves. Oh well, who cares really because I can't wait to see all these lovely beautiful colors blooming in our spring garden. I love how people are decorating their homes with these happy pastel shades of color. Why not celebrate spring all year!

"Is it so small a thing To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done..."

Love is no hot-house flower, but a wild plant, born of a wet night, born of an hour of sunshine; sprung from wild seed, blown along the road by a wild wind. A wild plant that, when it blooms by chance within the hedge of our gardens, we call a flower; and when it blooms outside we call a weed; but, flower or weed, whose scent and colour are always, wild!
-John Galsworthy, The Forsyte Saga

When lilacs last in the door-year bloom'd
And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night,
I mourn'd--and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.

For oft, when on my couch I lie,
in vacant or in pensive mood,
they flash upon that inward eye,
which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
and dances with the daffodils.
-William Wordsworth's The Daffodils
Celebrate a wonderful first day of spring!
