Celebrating Spring
After a long, cold Winter, Spring brings forth new life from frozen land. Birds populate the now budding trees, and the air takes on a scent of life.
Unquestionably, Spring is my favorite season. I feel a very strong connection with nature and the seasons. Every year, I dread the return of Winters because it’s like my body goes through a near death cycle, just like the land around me. Things of cheer and beauty fade away and I go into a dark, cold, slump for several months. Then, when it seems there is no hope for beauty or joy in life, Spring comes and both the world and I come back to life.
Hope rises with the blades of new grass, clearer vision comes with more hours of sunlight, and new found energy bursts as the buds on the trees do. Hello world! I’m alive!
To celebrate this first day of Spring, I’d like to share with you some of my favorite quotes about this wonderful season. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
~Anne Bradstreet
The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring.
~Bern Williams
Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.
~Doug Larson quotes
Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.
~Rainer Maria Rilke
In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.
~Margaret Atwood
No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.
~Hal Borland
Spring is nature’s way of saying, “Let’s party!”
~Robin Williams
Happy 1st Day of Spring!

Love the photo! It’s so relaxing!
Yes, the picture is beautiful, I love the colors.
Great Picture I agree! What i love most about spring is the morning around 7am when the birds are chirping and the sun has just come up! ahhhhhh
I agree the most with the Margaret Atwood quote, I love that dirt smell in the spring, I don’t know if its from the rain or what? We got snow today though, not too encouraging!

Everybody likes the Spring season. It is the favorite season of poets.Really spring is the Queen of the seasons.
I do like Spring, often because it’s fast becoming our Summer here in Britain, but I love its later equivalent, Autumn.
You can’t, in my opinion, beat being wrapped up walking through the snow!
Really Enjoyed reading your post.
Spring comes like a beginning of a new life. The nature usually celebrates the season with beautiful and colorful flowers. The same as the birth of a baby. The parents’ happiness can be seen as they give a good name to their new born child.
I like this post. I love spring. Every winter, I always look up to the coming spring. You know, it’s the time of the year where in everybody seems to be happy, everybody goes out, and the children? they play a lot. Seeing smiling faces when I walk outside during spring is really so uplifting. I liked the quotes you posted particularly that of Hal Borland.

I’m wishing for spring time right now. the wind is howling and it’s cold out!
