Today I woke to frosty trees, crisp, chilly air, wanted to stay under every quilt I have.  this afternoon, the sun will be shining, and I will be on a walkabout with my daughter, Sarah.  Ahh Spring!   A writing instructor once told me that only lazy people use quotes, I say why fix what is not broken…so I offer you this by  Lilja Rogers.

First a howling blizzard woke us,
Then the rain came down to soak us,
And now before the eye can focus –
Crocus.
