After more than a few days above sixty degrees, after a bounty of daffodils and tulips and forsythia and an explosion of cherry blossoms and plum blossoms and I-don't-know-what-they're-called-blossoms, I hereby declare, spring has finally arrived (here).
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead."
-A.A. Milne, When We Were Very Young
Good weather can make people kinder, more generous.
Have you noticed this?
"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt."
-Margaret Atwood, Bluebeard's Egg
Just ask Harry about the dirt. He is our in-house Dirt Expert.
Spring means the return of dining al fresco.
Goldfish just taste better outside, don't you agree?
The view from inside isn't bad.
The company is pretty good too.
"When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people, and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness, except for the very few that were as good as spring itself."
-Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

I got all the wonderful pix and here they are again!
Love the quotes with the photos. You used them perfectly. And yes, you are a swell photographer. Who needs an $800 camera?
