Spring Has Sprung…
Pleasant, sunny days. Gentle breezes. Dogwoods in full bloom and the Redbuds trying to catch up. Green leaves and buds and shoots showing up overnight where there has been brown and gray. And me, sneezing my ass off … It truly must be Spring!
A little madness in the spring is wholesome even for the King.
— Emily Dickinson
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.
— Victor Hugo
The buds awake at touch of Spring
From Winter’s joyless dream…
— Mackenzie Bell, Spring’s Immortality
Spring weather is life a child’s face, changing three times a day.
— Chinese Proverb
Spring’s an expansive time: yet I don’t trust
March with its peck of dust,
Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers,
Nor even May, whose flowers
One frost may wither thro’ the sunless hours.
– Christina Georgina Rossetti, Winter: My Secret
Ah, spring. When a young man’s fancy turns tolovebaseballtaxes!

you had to remind me… looking suspiciously at the cottonwoods down along the creek and wondering how long I have before they bust out with all the glory of their reproductive cycle and start me sneezing!
I don’t have allergies, but a lot of my friends do. I know it can be miserable. Spring is so beautiful…other than that. I hope you can enjoy it Winston.
Spring is the best….along with autumn (Fall) it’s mild, sunny and FABULOUS. It’s getting a little cooler down here which is a welcome relief.
my husbands got his annual hayfever right now, he’s miserable. my fruit trees are in bloom and the forsythia, so spring has definitely arrived in north west london, hope you get some relief from the sneezing
