Being a child of Spring, to celebrate this beautiful season here on this blog is a must… and such a pleasure! Sooooo…. here’s a few things that filled my heart with joy the past few days… Enjoy! 🙂

 


 Spring
 Poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins 

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring –
 When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
 Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
 Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
 The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
 The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
 The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
 With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.

What is all this juice and all this joy?
 A strain of the earth’s sweet being in the beginning
 In Eden garden. – Have, get, before it cloy,
 Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,
 Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
 Most, O maid’s child, thy choice and worthy the winning.

A Spring Picnic

There are very few things that I love more than watching nature wake up from its sleep during the first days of Spring. Throw a picnic into the game and I am in heaven.

Is Spring filling you with so much joy as well? And if you love a different season of the year more, which one is it? Do tell!

Wishing you a lovely day!

I have to admit that I’ve poured all my excitement and joy from the coming spring into this design. Colors and happiness, they have taken over my world these days. Completely.

Of course, I took a few pictures of the new chicks for you to enjoy…

Have you noticed? Spring is just around the corner!

Actually, I think that here where I live (the heart of Europe) it is already here. It is amazing to feel the arrival of spring in the air. It’s marvelous, spectacular and gorgeous all combined. I just love it!

With this delightful feeling in my soul all I could think about lately have been colorful and bright projects – just like the one that I would like to show to you today. It’s Crochet Striped Easter Eggs In A Bowl. They are making me very happy.
