Flowers of Spring

Today, after work, I visited Holes Greenhouse at the Enjoy Centre.  The cheery blossoms of spring flowering bulbs and plants greeted all, and the scent of fresh soil was better than the finest perfumes.  There's nothing like a visit to the greenhouse in the spring to brighten your mood.

I am popping on over to visit Mary at the  Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.  Won't you come on over?

Spring Emerges

A Prayer in Spring by Robert Frost

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;

And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,

Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;

And make us happy in the happy bees,

The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird

That suddenly above the bees is heard,

The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,

And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,

To which it is reserved for God above

To sanctify to what far ends he will,

But which it only needs that we fulfill.
