Day Eighty One 2011

"If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom." ~ Terri Guillemets

Day Eighty 2011

Even as these near-eighty degree temps wilt our beautiful buttercups, the purple irises are starting to sprout. I hope the heat doesn't kill them before they've had the chance to bloom. I'm loving the warmer temps, but, hey Mother Nature, give Spring a chance!

Day Seventy Nine 2011

The best way to celebrate the first day of spring is to go to the D.Q. and eat a Blizzard. Or to eat a sundae just because it's Sunday. We never need an excuse to eat such treats--as long as we don't do it too often. Happy first day of spring, everyone!

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

Day Seventy Seven 2011

Winter says goodbye, and I say good riddance! The last day of winter offered up almost 80 degree temperatures and a breathtaking sunset that my little cell phone camera just could not do justice. I wish I had been on some vista at this moment, high above all the clutter of this town which is so hard to escape, especially when you're trying to take a picture of a beautiful sky. I hope you can see the silver lining. So long, Winter! Happy TGIF, y'all!

P.S.~~I'm getting ahead of myself~~today is the NEXT to last day of winter and tomorrow will be winter's last hurrah. Sunday is first day of Spring! I guess I'm anxious to get rid of winter and so ready for a more colorful world :)
