{ Welcome little ones !! }

" For winter's rains and ruins are over,

and all the season of snows and sins;

days dividing lover and lover,

The light that loses, the night that wins;

time remembered is grief forgotten,

frosts are slain and flowers begotten,

And in green underwood and cover

Blossom by blossom the spring begins...."

can you see them?
there, next to the base of the ancient Ash
that once graced our front lawn...

...the little green spires of Spring,
bounding forth through ice & snow,

letting their fresh presence known to all who pass by...

(usually a chicken or two !!!)

although quite cold & windy today,
I will do as they;

and brave the weather just once more,

as I go on my way....

Thought I would share my tiny friends with all of you who are caught in that storm...
Hoping you have a sun-filled day of creative energy!!!

Blessed be!
