First Day of Spring



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

Please don't be mad if I confess that the photo above is not a spring picture at all, but was taken last autumn.  There is not a rose in bloom to be found at present.

I am so ready for spring, for lush spring growth and blossom trees and baby peas and gentle sunshine.  For roses in bloom and fuzzy ducklings in the creek and the first local strawberries and golden wattle.

However, today was cold and grey and did not feel like spring at all.  It felt so wintry I spoiled the kids with popcorn and hot chocolate with whipped cream for afternoon tea.  Clearly, nobody told the weather that the season had changed!
