Thought I'd update my journal since it's not winter anymore!  

Here are some of my recent faves:


Spring has returned.  The Earth is like a child that knows poems.  ~Rainer Maria Rilke



And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"



"Is it so small a thing To have enjoy'd the sun, To have lived light in the spring, To have loved, to have thought, to have done..." -- Matthew Arnold



Spring is sooner recognized by plants than by men.  ~Chinese Proverb


Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
To-day the glint of green is there;
Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!
~L.H. Bailey


Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"  ~Robin Williams
