Spring!

Pippa's Song by Robert Browning

The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn,
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;

The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His Heaven-
All's right with the world!


A cheer for the first day of spring- that season that we've been waiting for through the bitter cold days of winter. Not a bud to be seen around these parts (the photo comes from the cherry blossoms of Suzhou), but we're optimistic nonetheless. I realized I was hearing birds chirp during my early mornings last week. Without even jackets, we delivered meals this morning, and nearly every client commented on what a nice day it is. "God's in His Heaven; All's right with the world!"

The quote, one of my favorites, could not be more perfect! Those Brownings were very good, but so are you in thinking of that for the blog! Thank you! Happy Spring!XOXOXOXO, Mom

If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Yay! Opened up your blog today after writing on my own and discovered Browning's poem about spring! How appropriate. We should take a walk next week!
