At Long Last!

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!

Her love was entire as a child's, and though warm as summer it was fresh as spring.

"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.
- Walt Whitman,  Leaves of Grass

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!
