Catch Spring Fever With Me

The violets have exploded into a purple carpet

While the forget-me-nots clamor for attention

The little bright-eyed chrysanthemums wake to play

And the bluebells herald springtime's arrival

Stand here with me and inhale the fullness of Spring.

Nothing smells quite as sweet as a lilac in bloom

after a looooong winter of chilly breaths. 

Success at last! 

This lily-of-the-valley seems to have settled in

about the business of colonizing 

And the violets breed beauty with abandon

ensuring an even larger carpet of sweetness

for next year. 

The first Cecile Brunner peeks forth shyly,

soon to be followed

by an avalanche of sweethearts just like her

I sense no crabbiness

from this crabapple tree

in full flush of beauty

With the buzzing of busy-ness

ensuring more springtimes bee on the horizon.

All this buzzing sparks an idea . . .

Deb's Bees?  

Hmmmmmmmmm . . .?

What a sweet thought!

Stay tuned for details . . . ]

Spring fever is in full bloom around here.

Oh Joy!

I can even smile at the forecast

for rains tomorrow and the next,

knowing it will feed this beauty for my senses

and my soul.

And the earth brought forth grass,

and herb yielding seed after his kind,

 and the tree yielding fruit,

whose seed was in itself, after his kind:

and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:12

I see the good, too.
