YES! How is that for a positive opening? Big Frank is not waiting anymore. The buds are budding, the flowers are flowering: it is really spring! Well, not everywhere (sorry, North Dakota), but in Spokane it is. Big Frank's photos (see above) are actual reliable proof! The thermometer on Big Frank's car said that it was 67 degrees outside today. Get out your shorts, your straw hats, and your bikinis. Throw open the windows and go get the lawn darts out of storage (does anybody really have any?). Start planning that first picnic (Big Frank is). Blow out your sprinklers, and get out your hoses. Call the special someone that you've been eyeing from a distance. Gather ye (OK, no rosebuds just yet) crocuses while ye may, and give them to him/her! Start thinking about what has arrived and put winter behind you. Those few rump remnants of snow that are trying to hang on in the shadows of spring have had it. Green holds sway. Yellow has its day! What's the old cliche: It's All Good. Well, maybe not all, but how about - Very Much of it Seems Pretty Good!

and do nothing.
Yeah Spring!!
Sincerely,
The 'loud' one at poetry sundays...tee hee
Thanks for visiting (nice poetic moniker you're using). You're right - spring carries its own inspiration.
Glad YOU can enjoy spring. My front yard is covered in a foot of snow. Don't think I'll be putting on my sprinklers. It's warming up, though, so sandbagging has been a popular activity. Rob was out sandbagging for days, and I like to think he was the one who saved Fargo. We in North Dakota are thrilled this week because the sun is shining, the snow is melting, the snow boots are not being used, and it doesn't get dark until almost 8:30.
Life is good.
The flowers are beautiful. Great photography.
Renee xoxo
