Spring 's a'Comin'

"Come, gentle Spring! Ethereal Mildness! Come."- James Thomson

It is hard to believe that there was 8 inches of snow on the ground a week ago and today the thermometer is pushing 80. Yesterday morning when I returned from prayer meeting I saw the daffodils beginning to peek at me. Then the temps climbed into the mid-eighties!

Today they are much perkier!

At church this morning I saw there pretty smiling faces....

and the trees were bursting forth!

When we got home from church the forsythia was breaking out as well!

"An altered look about the hills;
A Tyrian light the village fills;
A wider sunrise in the dawn;
A deeper twilight on the lawn;
A print of a vermilion foot;
A purple finger on the slope;
A flippant fly upon the pane;
A spider at his trade again;
An added strut in chanticleer;
A flower expected everywhere ..."
- Emily Dickinson

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
