“Spring is far more than just a changing of seasons: it’s a rebirth of the spirit.” –Toni Stephenson
I took the above photo last spring, when life was returning to the Earth. This is part of the grounds here, where picnics happen and trees and flowers bloom.
I have two favorite seasons, and Spring is the first on the list. Although admittedly, in this area we could still have some cold weather, including the snow we had one year long ago. It was Easter Sunday, in April, and we woke up to snow. Go figure! With the climate changes though I think the 78 degrees we have as I am writing this is a warning of the future.
My favorite all time color is Spring Green, to me a sign of hope and better things to come. I wish I could say I have clothes in that color, but sadly, I only have the dark green more suited to winter. Not sure why, just that I tend to spill things on my clothes and the dark colors don’t show it the way the pastels and lighter colors do.
I used to wear a lot of white tops and skirts, but then it seemed that even when there were no tomatoes in sight I would end up with a tomato stain on the clothes. Always on the tops, and a couple of times on my lap. No food that was that color in sight, but always a stain. And yes, I’ll admit to more than one time falling asleep while eating ice cream and waking up with it in my lap. A chilling sensation to say the least. I’ve also had other food in my lap over the years, but now since I don’t sleep all that much the main problem is knocking over the bowl of popcorn and having to find all those little pieces that have bounced into the corners and under the furniture. And hopefully finding them immediately rather than a few months later.
I probably should touch on the fact that this is April 1, or April Fool’s Day. I’ve never been very good at fooling anyone on this day, although have been the butt of my siglings jokes on more than one occasion. And enough said about that!!!
Now, how about a few more spring photos? I think I have a few somewhere.

My favorite color is green – in every shade! I was however traumatized in 7th grade when I had to wear a jumper I made in sewing class. My mother picked out the the fabric and the pattern – a spring green textured polyester. I did a good job sewing and then had to model it at the “fashion show” It wouldn’t have been so bad except my mother wouldn’t let me wear stockings and I had to walk with white lace trimmed ankle socks! The horror of it all!
The photos of the violets are delightful – they used to grow all through my grandma’s yard and I’d pick fistfuls for bouquets!

My trauma moment thanks to Mother was my Senior trip. All the girls decided to wear white pleated skirts, the latest fashion of the day. I didn’t have one so asked Mom to see if she could find me one. She made a skirt, not white, but red, and with pleats already ironed into the fabric. We spent a couple of hours on a bus going to Nashville, and when we got off the pleats I had been sitting on had lost the ironing part and were blossomed out on my derriere! I was devastated, first by the color and then by the blooming butt. The other girls tried to make me feel better about it, but the day was ruined for me. But like you, I love all things green and all shades, EXCEPT for Chartreuse! That is a color for nightmares!
