I’m greening
with the grass,
singing with
the birds — Spring!
Wind at play
tinkles chimes;
blows away
empty husks.
Bare lilac
twigs sprout buds;
transplantee
smiles with sun.

You make me almost miss the seasons! (But I don’t, in the end, because of my husband’s incessant bitching about how much he hates snow)
Sweet poetry…….

People that hate snow do tend to be aggravating, generally speaking ;) Thanks, Stace!

GRANTED….. I never DID have to walk to school in it my entire childhood and/or dig my car out of it….
(he lived in Brooklyn).
But either way, with or without real winter, everybody waits for spring. :) :)

:) I walked 3 miles back and forth to middle and high school each day in winter with tennis shoes and no gloves and I STILL love winter with snow.
Agreed on the last bit <3

Ahhh…..so it’s totally subjective! He just hates snow, lol !!!
The first time snow fell in Brooklyn (when I was living there for a while), it was like being in a movie. I’ll never forget it. :) :)

Thank you, Merril! This place has one big lilac that was here when we moved in but I like these little dwarf ones for accents.
