Mother Nature forgot all about it

It was time for spring to arrive

That winter had passed already

The flowers were waiting to thrive

But the temperatures didn’t budge

Making the trees remain quite rigid

Seems winter wanted to stay a bit more

Leaving the rest of us rather frigid

But buds are beginning to appear

So we hope, and dream, the cold is gone

Until the weatherman calls for snow again

And we realize, winter hasn’t moved on

Earth becomes hopeful

When blades of green grass stand tall

For a regal spring

Mom sent me on an egg hunt
She said look for pretty colors

But all I really wanted was
My favorite breakfast crullers

She shooed me out the door
Told me to have some fun

Bring back lots of goodies
Enough for everyone

When I got back from the meadow
Mom said, Goodness! What a mess!

What happened, what did you do?
To your brand new Easter dress?

I tried explaining carefully, how
My basket became overloaded!

And when I tried to empty it
All the eggs inside exploded!

Mom looked at me rather strangely
Then a smile came to her face

Laughing she said, it looked much better
Then it did, in the dressmaker’s place

Scroll to see them all  🙂

The cardinal shows his brilliant crimson color, while…

The misses hangs out in the trees above…

These two house finches are inseparable, always together… (photo bomb by the junco)

And the majestic blue jay has returned, adding more color to my backyard

Ok, technically not a wordless Wednesday, but I couldn’t resist  😉

Tiny swallow, spring has sprung

Winter says goodbye to thee

Flying high, above the leaves

Taking in, all you can see

Call to those who know you

And those you’ve yet to meet

Tiny swallow, spread your wings

Glide on sunbeams, fast and fleet
