"Ere yet the earliest warbler wakes, of coming spring to tell,
From every marsh a chorus breaks, a choir invisible,
As if the blossoms underground, a breath of utterance had found. -Tabb"
From Handbook of Nature Study by Anna Botsford Comstock
The spring weather is here and while taking my walk up the lane I heard the chorus of the spring peepers. It has to be one of my most favorite sounds, as it means spring has really truly arrived.
I took some cutters with me in hopes of finding pussy willows, which I did. I cut a basketful, gathered eggs, and found some good reading in the mailbox...
Now at least I've done a little spring decorating...
I want you to know I appreciate all your kind comments. I have a sewing order to fill so I may be absent more than usual, but will catch up with you all soon!
Your photos are so simply and so beautiful that I love them very much. ciao ciao

ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful pitcher of pussy willows and the color of the eggs...amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI am back, like everyone else, I love the clothespin bag...it reminds me of when I was a little girl. I would hand pin's to my Grandmother one at a time.
ReplyDeleteSo it's eggs on toast for lunch, whilst reading magazines in the beautiful surrounding of your spring branches. How wonderful is that. Have a wonderfull day !
ReplyDeleteGood luck on fulfilling your sewing order - Julia x
Lovely photos as always, how I wish my laundry room looked like yours, even the clothespeg bag is gorgeous! I have been trying to get some pussy willow too but can't reach any that are close enough to the roadside! Keep up the lovely work

Thank you for your kindness sweet blogger :) We cant believe it ourself..it`s just madness. My sister is totally broken and my heart hurts for her. Yesterday she couldnt talk taht much with me, and she is exhausted. But we are a very big family with lots of warmth and she has the best man ever. I hope we all can give her the best support. She lives by minut by minut. I hope time wil heal....I want to wish you and your loveones the best for this weekend and upcoming easter, and take very good care of each other!!
