How happily we listen
Atlanta Botanical Garden, March 2012
“What can Spring say that other Springs have not already told us? And yet each year, how happily we listen!” — Joan Walsh Anglund
Familiar yet always new, springtime lures us outdoors with warming sunshine, budding trees and bright blooms. Whether your March weather has been more like a lion or a lamb thus far, I hope you will soon experience the mood-lifting promise of a mild, sunny day — the sort of day when almost anything seems possible.

Defeat Despair 
Hope springs eternal. And with the Spring hope flourishes.

Thank you, Alan. I am finding that to be true. The longer daylight hours lift my spirits, even on rainy days.
Snowing in OR today. Lovely shot, such flowers; we have a few here despite the cold day. (And I think I spy a Chihuly glass sculpture! 🙂 )
Snowing! I always forget that Oregon does get snow. And yes, that is a Chihuly sculpture. Don’t you just love his work? I wish you many bright flowers to arrive very soon!
