happy 1st day of spring!

did you know...

Upon a Lilac Sea

To toss incessantly

His Plush Alarm

Who fleeing from the Spring

The Spring avenging fling

To Dooms of Balm-

                                -Emily Dickinson

... did you know that April is national poetry month?  I have gone through phases of loving poetry and phases of ... well, not, NOT loving poetry, but not having the patience to appreciate poetry.  But when I am in the right state of mind to open myself up to beautiful poetry it is incredibly rewarding. 

 I visited a family friends house today and knew that I had to have my photo taken in her beautiful garden... doesn't it look like a sea of lavender?!  It was sooo lovely and I wanted to lay down in the garden, but I was afraid of crushing all of the flowers (and it smelled so GOOD!)  I just love spring.....
