Welcome springtime . . .

 

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: 

when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. 

~Charles Dickens 

Hooray for Spring!  Its all uphill from here. It may still feel like Winter, but we have turned a corner and we have nothing but goodness to look forward to from here on in! 

 

Frolicking lambs  . . . 

 

Primrose and hyacinth  . . . 

 

Nesting birds  . . . 

 

Daffodils  . . . 

 

Tulips  . . . 

 

The earth begins to wake up after the long cold sleep of Winter  . . . 

 

Buds appear and sap runs  . . . 

 

Blossoms wait to unfurl along with the leaves  . . . tender shoots of promise  . . . 

 

Baby chicks  . . .  

 

The promises of the Easter Season  . . . 

 

Bumble bees  . . .

Days happen when we can open up the windows and blow away the cobwebs of winter  . . .  

 

"I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills, 

when all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils; 

beside the lake, beneath the trees, 

fluttering and dancing in the breeze." 

~ William Wordsworth 

And just like that Spring has arrived and with it the promise of better days, brighter days, warmer days  . . .  the earth will soon be laughing in flowers  . . . you'll see . . . and we will be laughing right along with it.

A thought to carry with you  . . .

In The English Kitchen today  . . . Chocolate Chip Treasure Cookies.  A chocolate chip cookie, but similar to a coconut macaroon.  

There was a strange knocking on the ceiling/roof the other day. We thought perhaps something was in the attic. It ended up being a crow on the rooftop trying to crack open a nut. And something has flown off with the whole bird cookie, either that or a racoon has feasted.  Probably the latter  . . . the trials of country life.

Have a great Saturday!  Don't forget!
