Spring Has Sprung

Spring has officially sprung, and after a beautiful week of weather leading up to the official date of spring, and then having very ugly cold dreary bleary couple of days as spring arrived.... the weather is making it's way back up to warmth and sunshine!  My jonquils have started to bloom with lots of buds waiting to open.... and my forsythia's are days away from full explosion!!!  LOVE IT!!!!

Can't you just feel the love in the air that spring time brings?  I have been married to my sweetheart and best friend for over 30 years now, and he still does the sweetest things for me.  The other day we were working hard in the yard doing spring clean up in the flower beds and such.... and out of the blue.... he presents me with a single jonquil he picked.... the smile on his face as he gave me that one single flower was as sweet as when a child gives their mother a prized picked jonquil (or daisy, or dandelion).  It's not the flower that makes our hearts flitter, flutter with pride and happiness..... it's the act of them doing it for us.  I can't think of a single mother I know or have ever known that didn't at one time get presented with a prized picked flower from their child!

And the smells that waft up to your nose the moment you walk outdoors is soooooo fresh and wonderful!  This is my favorite time of the year to wash all my blankets and comforters and hang them outside to dry.  Then that night as you crawl into bed and draw the blankets up to your chinny chin chin..... you just can't help but to sniff, and sniff and sniff them like a hound dog after a fox!   Seems those nights I have the sweetest dreams too!

I for one am beside myself in total glee that spring has finally sprung!  My whole body and mind feels electric with excitement and I just wanna be outside all the time!!!!  I'm sure we have plenty more dreary bleary rainy days to come...... as they say..... April showers bring May flowers..... so to enjoy the flowers we must endure the rain...... and at least it isn't snow!!!!

Spring has indeed sprung..... the grass is trying to riz...... and no more wondering where them flowers is, cause they are popping their sweet heads up everywhere!
