{Almost} Springtime! :)

Happy Friday! It's going to be 75 here today! :) I know I know...it will be cooler tomorrow... and Tulsa always seems to get a snow in March but still... Spring is here in little glimpses...and I'm loving every bit of those little glimpses!

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:  when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.  ~Charles Dickens

Springtime is the land awakening.  The March winds are the morning yawn.  ~Quoted by Lewis Grizzard in Kathy Sue Loudermilk, I Love You

Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day.  ~W. Earl Hall

It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!  ~Mark Twain

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.  ~Ruth Stout

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"
