"Possibly, I thought, as I set the miniature bouquet on the old trestle table, possibly God knows that if spring came all at once, we should die of it. So, the fairy-size bells ring a chime to make it possible to bear the beauty that will come in May."

Hey Dottie, Happy Easter! And thank you.
I love the names "Tasha" and "Pepper Ann"!
(and I hate to admit it, but I'm jealous of your apple tree blooms...)
this rarely happens to me lately but the quote made me tear up. It sums up exactly how I've been feeling.
I've been so irritated with myself for not having any words, but my words don't seem to be ENOUGH for the whole thing, and God is overwhelming me, and so is Spring. I'm overwhelmed and so so grateful for fairy sized bells.
I love your list.
I love the chicks.
I desperately want a vegetable garden.
The end.
i want some chicks too...maybe someday when i don't have a pepper jane (my rotten dog) i can get me some pepper ann's. and bunnies.
Les, I was shocked because it was the first time our little apple tree had bloomed.
JoAnn, I love Miss Ostrich.
Vicki, Pepper-Jane? Heh heh, awesome.
Love your selection of poetry!
What a blessed life you live! And one of the best blessings is to recognize it.
Lisa, hey. Gladys Taber is a writer I've always enjoyed. Her books are still easily found in most libraries.
Kristi, thank you kindly. :)
Love the signs of Spring. I'm still guessing what's in the pan. Nothing mundane I'm sure.
Cheryl, I was teaching myself how to brown butter without burning it to make brown butter scones! yum.
i think i'm in love with tasha and pepper ann :)
Emily, they are pretty irresistable. :)
Just stopping by to say hi friend!!
Have a happy week and loads of fun!!
Much love,
Rayanne
Okay your quote is making me feel a little better about spring taking its sweet time getting here. A little.
What a delightful quote, and I love all the joy in your post!
Sometimes it seems like spring unfolds too quickly here in the South. I enjoy every minute of it.
I'll take a slice of bread, please?
JoAnn kind of wrote my heart...
xoxoxo
