Spring Fe-fe-fe-Ver!!!

La-Tea-Dah at Gracious Hospitality inspired this post on SPRING!


It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want-oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache you want it so!! ~~Mark Twain




The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven-
All's right with the world! ~~Robert Browning



If you have never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.
~~Audra Foveo




Spring has returned! The earth is like a child that knows poems.
~~Rainer Maria Rilke




That God once loved a garden we learn in Holy writ.
And seeing gardens in the spring I well can credit it.
~~Winifred Mary Letts




At the sea's shore, where I long to be
The sand and the waves they beckon me.
~~the Sunshine Girl (me, silly!)



Hope you feel the refreshing breath of spring blowing your way!!

Joyful blessings,
Becky

    Thanks Becky, for the glimpses into Spring. I know it's coming, but after a night of ice and snow paralyzing our state, it's easy not to believe:) But the salt trucks were out overnight and things are movimg again!

    And just as I am typing this, I am hearing some lovely chirping going on outside my window:)

    I believe, I believe:))

    Beautiful pictures!! And I liked YOUR poem!

    Have a warm weekend!

    Hugs,

  9. Becky, Thank you for visiting my blog. As for the rock climbing.....I must confess...I was laying horizontal and my husband took the picture to make it look like I was really climbing. It was a joke for my daughter.

    I love your daffodills they are my very favorite spring flower. In Pennsylvania we won't see them until hopefully April.
