From wha...Such beautiful photos to usher in Spring! From what I've seen of yours and others' photos, Spring in Texas is doing a beautiful job this year - in spite of the rain. Of course, no rain, no lush flowers. I love your philosophy: No matter how tough things get, we need to remember that Spring will come again, bringing sunshine. One of my favorite quotes from Hal Borland (I haven't a clue who he is!): No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-36483848687650857942016-04-14T08:14:08.061-07:002016-04-14T08:14:08.061-07:00Beautiful photos of your spring!

Sorry it was interrupted by a little rain but you're taking it well! :-) Being from Arizona where the sun shines almost "every day", I even get a little grumpy when it doesn't. I can only imagine what it must be like where it doesn't shine for long periods of time! It definitely affects people's moods. But even if the sun isn't shining, there is so much beauty at this time of year to see and enjoy and let's never take that for granted. Rain or shine, spring is amazing for all the reasons you stated. I'm heading out to enjoy the beautiful (and yes, sunny) spring day! terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-87334997953527196212016-04-14T06:29:03.515-07:002016-04-14T06:29:03.515-07:00It does my heart good to see these photos as we br...It does my heart good to see these photos as we brace for another snowstorm overnight. Spring is so late here that it will be a another month (at least) until things look at least similar to what I see in this post. I laughed re the sunny every day. I have often pondered (and more so lately) how we are affected by weather. I see it so clearly working in retail as I do. People's moods are DEFINITELY affected by weather. I also think about where we sit on the globe with latitude. It never occurred to me until recently someone told me that in Hawaii sunset only varies by about an hour throughout the course of the year. Here, the short days are very short and the long days of sun in summer are, well, pretty long. And further north, even more profound, this difference in the amount of time the sun stays up in the sky. This is a long comment. Happy Thursday, FOLers.AFishGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513718005250273753noreply@blogger.com
