It is Spring Time in Walla Walla; Easter and the promise of a new life is just around the corner. I think spring is my favorite time of the year. Things start blooming in the yard and you begin working outside in the yard again and see your neighbors that you don't see all winter. It just seems like a time that everything is alive again. It refreshes the heart! Our Winter has been long and cold so it is good to have the promise of new life again. Baseball is in the air, small children are out riding their bikes and playing in the yard, parents are out walking babies in strollers and I can't wait to start planting the yard full of beautiful flowers. This picture is a picture of a tree planted in memory of my father on the golf course in Sun City, AZ that he played on so many many times. The house my mother lives in overlooks the golf course and this tree planted by his friends with a wonderful plaque that reads "In Memory of Lou LaLumiere." Even this tree sings out "Spring" and a new beginning. Enjoy your Spring where ever you might be.
Arrival Of Spring
The smell of spring is in the air,flowers blooming everywhere,Butterflies kiss the end of my nose,tulip heads begin to show.Snow flakes now turn to rain,no more aches, no more pain.I'm taking off my long underwear,the warmth of spring is in the air.Mother Robin she says, "HELLO",with motherly pride, she proudly glows.With 3 tiny chicks all snuggled in nest,she puffs out her tiny red robin chest.Her song of cheer is so sweet to my ear,I look forward to her song every year.Because she represents the first of spring,I listen for her, and for what she brings.Spring is the cleansing of our earth,given to us free, at our birth.
