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"
Came the Spring with all its splendor
All its birds and all its blossoms,
All its flowers, and leaves, and grasses.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
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
Today is Emily's due date.....and we wait. I'm still working on the studio ~ this is taking me forever! But hopefully it will be wonderful when I'm finished. It's spring here in Georgia and I'm hoping that it's getting warmer where you are as well. If not now, hopefully soon!
Happy Friday and Happy Spring my dear friends ~
xxoo, Dawn
