       No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. - Hal Borland

    Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems. - Rilke

I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.

 - David Hockney

 

Uncle Jonathon, Pappa and Zia

I am going to try to pay attention to the spring.
I am going to look around at all the flowers, and            look up at the hectic trees.

I am going to close my eyes and listen.
- Anne Lamott

It is so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, to have lived light in the spring, to have loved, to have thought, to have done. - Matthew Arnold
