SPRING

SPRING SONG

Listen, buds, it's March twenty-first;
Don't you know enough to burst?
Come on, birds, unlock your throats!
Come on, gardeners, shed your coats!
Come on, Zephyrs, come on flowers,
Come on, grass, and violet showers!
And come, on, lambs in frisking flocks!
Salute the vernal equinox!
Twang the cheerful lute and zither!
Spring is absolutely hither!
Yester eve was dark despair,
With winter, winter, everywhere;
Today, upon the other hand,
'Tis Spring throughout this happy land.
Oh, such is Nature's chiaroscuro,
According to the Weather Bureau.
What though the blasts of Winter sting?
Officially, at least, it's Spring?
.......................


A song of sunshine through the rain
Of Spring across the snow;
A balm to heal the hurts of pain,
A peace surpassing woe.
Lift up your heads ye sorrowing ones,
And be ye glad at heart,
For Calvary and Easter Day,
Earth's saddest day and gladdest day,
Were just three days apart!!!

I hope your Spring is going well. It is nice in Idaho Falls in spite of some super big fluffy snow flakes today.
Cav is job hunting-we're so hoping he will find something in IF. He and Cam will graduate in May.
Jana is doing some Case Management now--says she likes it. Sequoya and Nory are enjoying their violin lessons. Dustin is still working down at ISU.
Brent is gearing up for the farming season.
Casey was supposed to leave for Okinawa today but we have not heard whether he did or not.
Jess & Jolene have been working on their new home.

Me, well, I'm looking forward to the upcoming trip and planting a few flowers and hopefully getting some scrapbooking done.
