Sometimes spring speaks in silence

Spring!

It’s undeniably happening around here, there are signs everywhere.

Flashes of pink, shots of green, streaks of sunlight.  Today it’s more rain, but we know that March would go out like a lion.  And April is coming in with a passion.

Speaks

Everywhere I go, there is another sign, the super hot pink Magnolias near the veggie store are bursting with secrets, looking like pink elephant popcorn on a stick. 

The Boo is spooked by the merest whisper of wind, and runs with his tail up, pure joy in his motions. And yes, he is slightly lighter in his step, the diet is working.

Silence

That’s why sometimes it’s good to just be still for a moment.

And let spring speak to you.

Do you hear it?

  2. I do, I do hear it Jen. It says stop the stupid rain already.
    As I said on Facebook. That top photo would make the most gorgeous wedding invitation.

  6. I'm beginning to hear spring, I'm listening very hard (but right now it's hard to hear over all the rain) :) I'm glad to finally see the plum and cherry trees blooming!
    I love that first picture too, a very romantic feel to it.

  8. Perhaps whispers, dear Jen. Playing tag, spring is still mighty fickle around here.

    Ou yes, spring has finally arrived in a blaze of flowers and colors!
    I love this perfume that you feel in the air and the days that stretch.
    First Clematis Armandi and shortly after the fragrant wisteria bloom!
    I wish you a happy spring!
