Springtime officially is here



I think that I have complained enough about this past winter.
My family wants a truce, even mother nature is waving the white flag,
and my poor blogging friends are begging for mercy!
So I thought that I would send you all a little poem to really tell you how flipping happy I am!

ODE TO SPRINGTIME
Oh,springtime..sweet springtime you're finally here!
The snow is all gone and
The skies are so clear
The robins are back
From their winter retreat
The air is so fresh
And the flowers are sweet
I've waited so long
For your joyous return
All through the winter
Oh, how I did yearn
To witness the splendor
That only you bring
The bursting of color
A new song to sing
You warm up the air
And the soil of the earth
To renewal and beauty you
gladly give birth
No other season
Can rival your deeds
You wash away gloom
You fulfill many needs
Your rains cleanse the air
Of the winters bleak look
You loosen its grip
On each babbling brook
You wake all of nature
From its winter sleep
(Even the insects that we wish you'd keep)
You bring forth the blooming
Of flowers and trees
You dust winters' ashes
With your gentle breeze
Your crocus and tulips
And daffodils too
Put on quite a show
With their colorful hue
The birds sing your praises
With songs crisp and clean
Oh, springtime sweet spring
You're a glorious thing
You work your magic oh, so well
There's just one mystery
You bring such beauty to the world
Why can't you work on me?(he he)

Spring has Sprung

Spring is here, not officially, but you can smell it in the air!
That's enough for me for now!
I wanted to celebrate by posting one of my favorites!
Hope you enjoy!


What though the radiance
which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
-- William Wordsworth
