Spring In The Catskills

Awake, thou wintry earth-
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn

My daughter's garden...

No matter what part of the world you live in, spring is most likely your favorite time of year. The dictionary tells us that spring means to come from by birth, to decent. Spring marks the transition from winter into summer.
Here on the Gulf Coast of Florida, seems like spring just rushed in one day and out the next. Before we knew it, summer had arrived. For the past couple of weeks we have enjoyed temps in the high nineties. Not such a bad thing however, the ocean waters are warmer and our pool feels mighty refreshing. Last evening, I received photos from family members, taken in up-state New York. Spring comes much later to folks living in the Catskill mountains, but when it does, it is well worth the wait. Hmmmm.....God does such good work.
