Spring!


my west-coast sister took the above picture yesterday ... spring has sprung in her part of Canada ... i stuck my nose to the screen and tried to inhale the fragance - but alas, all i inhaled was computer dust!!!

though i am believing that soon, very soon - spring will arrive here in Manitoba too!

check out last years praise post on the arrival of spring ...
click here ... it applies to this year too! may God grant you springtime in your heart as well ..


Your time has come,
now hasten little snowflakes,
To vanish quite away;
The spring-tide hours are sounding gentle warnings
Forbidding you to stay.
~ M. E. Hathaway

The only bad thing about Spring is that Summer is not far behind. And in Texas, Summer is about the worst season (if you're not a kid!)
but Spring is beautiful!

lolly ... ya, i can only imagine the heat of a texas summer ... though AZ must be worse - there is always someone worse off, eh?!! we have lovely temps but the mosquitoes can be hungry & plentiful!

barbara ... that is a different herald of spring - a lamb ... we know it's spring when the potholes in the street become cavernous! *chuckling* ...

Thats a sweet little poem. I just read in the paper we can expect winter to hang around longer in our part of the world. I don't care if it does, I like cozy...smile.
