the Promise of Spring

Today it feels like spring. It is sunny, warm and you can actually hear the snow melting! Our hearts are full of warm spring thoughts and endless gratitude. It has been a long winter friends, and our creative souls have felt exhausted by all this wet stuff.
There was a funny video that circulated Facebook a little while ago about being so excited for plus one weather. Our brother in law shared it with us this past weekend and we all had a great laugh.  If you want a chuckle check it out: here




























It's hilarious and we feel exactly the same way! What are we going to do when it's plus one??
wear our spring coats
wear our spring scarves
start putting away the sweaters

Thankfully however the end is in sight, and the warm sunshine today makes us excited for spring. Here are a few wise words we have collected on this topic, they bring us such hope. Especially now that Environment Canada is calling for flurries tomorrow...


"It was one of those March days where the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade." Charles Dickens

"Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"..
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine." Frances Hodgson Burnett

"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt." Margaret Atwood

"She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead." A.A. Milne

"Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world." Virgil Kraft

"Spring's greatest joy beyond a doubt is when it brings the children out." Edgar Guest

"Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush." Doug Larson

"It always amazes me to look at the little, wrinkled brown seeds and think of the rainbows in 'em,"said Captain Jim. "When I ponder on them seeds I don't find it nowise hard to believe that we've got souls that'll live in other worlds. You couldn't hardly believe there was life in them tiny things, some no bigger than grains of dust, let alone colour and scent, if you hadn't seen the miracle, could you?" L.M. Montgomery


Yes, this is what Spring looks like in Canada :) hehe
