SPRING IS . . .

On March 20th, just three and one-half weeks ago, I read on my calendar that we were experiencing the First Day of Spring. But I didn't find much to fill my senses at that time.

In the week past, I have seen and smelled and experienced completely the meaning of Spring. Here we go:


I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen. Anne Lamott, American novelist and non-fiction writer

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming. Pablo Neruda, Chilean poet-diplomat

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. Hal Borland, American author, journalist, naturalist

Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love! Sitting Bull, Hunkpapa Lakota holy man

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush. Doug Larson, columnist and editor in Door County

Wherever you are, enjoy Spring!

  1. I liked the Doug Larson quote, and Mark Twain had it exactly right.
