A Day in March |

A Day In March Rain draws a drape that’s cold and gray Across the window of the day. A steady stream of drops are shed, To pool within each flowerbed. But later in the day, when I Must venture forth, a lighter sky, Shows promise of a bit of sun Before this day in March is done. Then suddenly I see some green, Where daffodils have always been The first to flower in the spring And that changes everything! My step is lighter as I view This welcome sight.My heart is too!

Oh, Betty Lou, how lovely. I can't wait to see flowers again. I love finding the first blossoms of spring. I'll have to wait to May or so, but I'll enjoy yours for now. xoxoxo Alison |

Thanks Alison. I am not actually seeing flowers yet, but the foliage is there. Also just in this week so many spring birds are back. We are still getting snow showers however. Betty Lou |

This truly lovely Betty. I do have daffodils blooming in my yard but we haven't had much warm weather yet. The tulip tour starts on April first but they are not in bloom yet. Love, Joyce |

Dear Betty Lou Your spring is approaching and what a lovely poem to welcome it. I so pray you'll be 'skipping' around soon! Love Verbena xo |

Wordancer: Thanks for your nice comments. Unfortunately here, our "snowdrops" are the real thing and falling from the sky!! No sign of spring yet and is the latest ever for this area. Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

It's February now as I read this. I am on the west coast, and the days have been drizzling, with only occasional sunshine. However the rhodies are budding. I probably won't see them until May, but I anticiapte the deep magenta blooms. Luckily I get to enjoy my neighbor's daffodils earlier. She like my roses.  ~ Tender shoots of spring and poetry. Thank you. ~K |

I'm not far from there. Newport is a beautiful coastal spot, and I am mesmerized going through Yachats. I don't know what it is about that place.... mystical. |
