"The sun was warm but the wind was
chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."
- Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926

Oh how I miss the Spring flowers ... my dad was a gardner wih a love for planting and cultivating both flowers and vegetables ... he really should have been a farmer ... he had the heart and soul for it. I was the only one of his kids who took an interest in planting ... not as much as him, but a fair amount. That's why I miss the Spring flowers so ... I have been unable to even keep summer flowers where I am in Florida ... for the past years it's been so very hot, everything wilts and dies ... maybe this year will be a bit cooler.
Anyway, happy happy beginning of a beautiful Spring season.
Happiness Always

I love tulips. They are my favorite flowers after sunflowers.
Jan, I love the poem by Robert Frost, thank you for posting it. It describes exactly what spring is like in these mountains.
I hope this summer is a cool one for you so you can have flowers. That is such a beautiful photo of spring flowers that you used in this post.
Blessings,

Ana...I love tulips also, but my very favorite is daffodils.
Victoria ... oh, how beautiful it must be where you are. You are so luck, but I think you know that.
Love always,
Jan

I also love tulips - they are so cheerful and pretty! I have the opposite problem to you - it is freezing where I live - no sign of Spring yet but I live in hope!
