spring fling

Spring is finally making its way to Western Pa. Sadly the lilacs took quite a beating in the last freeze so they are very sparse but here are photos to prove that spring always follows winter.

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Robert Frost

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

Anne Bradstreet

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

"Be like the flower, turn your face to the sun."
Kahlil Gibran

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

"It's spring fever... You don't quite know what it is you DO want,
but it just fairly makes yourheart ache, you want it so!"
Mark Twain
