Signs of Spring


March wind is a jolly fellow;
He likes to joke and play.
He turns umbrellas inside out
And blows men's hats away.
He calls the pussy willows
And whispers in each ear,
"Wake up you lazy little seeds,
Don't you know that spring is here.

What the Robin Told

The wind
told the grasses,
And the grasses
told the trees.
The trees
told the bushes,
And the bushes
told the bees.
The bees
told the robin,
And the robin
sang out clear
Wake up!
Wake up!
Spring is here!



I don't know who wrote these poems. No credit is given on the website I got them from.

 For weeks I've been expecting the daffodils. Friday afternoon I go out to do a bit yardwork and I'm surprised by this batch of crocus'. I don't remember seeing them last year, though Shari says they were there. A year ago I was concentrating on healing and may have missed what was right in front of me. This year I'm stopping to smell the roses which haven't bloomed yet.

  1. Beautiful pictures. I especially liked the one where the background was in focus and the crocus was artistically muted.
    Glad you've got your spring. Salt Lake City hasn't decided what to do yet.

  4. Dear Tag,
    I'm glad to know you are stopping to smell the roses, even if they haven't bloomed yet. Isn't' life just that?
    I love your pictures and the poems, thanks for sharing.

  5. Somh, I get my inspiration from your your beautiful photos. I particularly like the dead oak leaves in the center shot.

    Gabi, thanks for stopping by. Are you still in the awful in between? I hope not.

  6. Tag,

    The in-between was awful, but very positive, now I feel free and ready for the ride! Thank for your concern.
