A pretty little poem...

I love this!!

The seasons are shifting, The winter shades lifting,
The springtime is filling
Earth's children with mirth.
The daffodil yellow, The south wind so mellow,
The gentle rain falling,
Upon the green earth.
The song sparrow singing, New life quickly springing,
All nature is telling
A tale of rebirth:
The deep wells of being, Beyond each day's seeing,
O'er flowing with new Life,
Restoring the earth.

- David E. Bumbaugh, "Spring", 1998

March: a new season?

With the Month of March officially in full swing, much like my pregnancy, I felt more inspired than ever to grow something...another thing. That, and I found the most adorable little flower starter kits. I planted four different types of flowers in tiny little 1.5" pots and they are sitting in the windowsill. Although it is 32 degrees again today and there is snow falling, it somehow feels warmer. Everywhere you look things are now just damp and soggy, not frozen and lifeless. The naked grass, all smashed and downtrodden is flecked with green and yellow. Small signs of life are everywhere, and now there are some extras in mini pastel pots in the kitchen. Spring is here a little more everyday.
