This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 05, 2008:
The springtime... All of those things associated with SPRING! Robbins, crocuses, daffodils, tulips, the songbirds that will return on the wings of the warmer weather, the spring and summer coats that the beautiful goldfinches don... that vibrant yellow that's so catchy to the eye... that fresh "spring" smell, dogwood trees blooming, new leaves bursting out of tiny buds, cherry blossoms... the waking up of the ever-tiny and very noisy spring peepers; calling, calling, calling for a mate... the calling of one screech owl to another... the continuation of love or the possibility thereof; for new love to begin, outdoor activities like biking, continuing my running and hiking... eventually getting into that BEAUTIFUL new kayak! Ah, spring is right around the corner and I can't wait!
In spring time,
In spring time,
In spring time,
The only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing,
Hey ding-a-ding, ding,
Hey ding-a-ding, ding,
Sweet lovers love the spring.
It Was A Lover And His Lass [Listen]

You're welcome, B.B. Thanks for visiting. I can see my daffodils… they have poked up through the earth. Spring wants to come! I have seen some Robbins, and I'm pretty sure I even heard them calling this morning. I know it hasn't been an especially bad winter, however, I'm ready for Spring.
Yes, yes, & more yes! Time for spring! Love, Love, LOVE the picture.
Thanks, Ayla! I'm SO ready for spring… I keep on looking for signs that it is coming. I saw the cutest Robin this morning and my brain began to shout “IT'S COMING! SPRING is almost here!!” :-)
spring fever here we come!
Shirley, I love your new spring-like icon!
I have spring fever… a bit early, but I've got it!
