Spring!



Oh happy Spring!

  1. Yes, finally Spring!
    The funny thing is, I rediscovered, after lots of years,a song by Queen titled "A Winter's Tale". The lyrics about the coming of the winter, but the sound is so very springlike! And I can't help listening to it over and over again.

    Thank you Christie for mentioning my name under your Liebster Blog Award banner! And for saying that my blog is thoughtful and lyrical :)

    1. Thanks for the song, Jay—I agree that it's very "springy." I think it's nice (and important) to have things that remind us of spring in winter, and of winter in spring; that adds texture/poignancy/emotional interest to our lives and creative projects. Please go walk in Central Park for me, and enjoy the season!
