Sweet Spring

                     This effusively flowering Camellia is at the end of our porch.  The picture was taken in mid-March!

                    

                                        

Sweet Spring

I close the door and lock the latch

To walk the walk four blocks and back.

I breathe in deep, and smell the sweet;

The scent and sight of flowers meet.

Yellow, purple, pink and white

Fill my senses with delight!

Fingertips of soft mint green

Grace the trees in lovely scene.

Bird songs fill my ear with sound;

Squirrels cavort along the ground.

Lawns are manicured with care;

My face is kissed by sun-warmed air.

Winter's chill and blahs give way

To warbles, tweets, and sun-filled day!
