Happy Spring!

Spring Cleaning

March bustles in on windy feet

And sweeps my doorstep and my street.

She washes and cleans with pounding rains,

Scrubbing the earth of winter stains.

She shakes the grime from carpet green

Till naught but fresh new blades are seen.

Then, house in order, all neat as a pin,

She ushers gentle springtime in.

"For, lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone;

The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come,

And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land" ~Song of Songs

"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."
