For lo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth its figs,
and the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
Arise my love, my fair one,
and come away.

Thank you dear Superchef ~ spring has arrived and will touch each of us each sometime soon. Enjoy the moment ... it will find us all :)
We're on a roll, Monica, aren't we :) Winter is behind us even though we know it will tease a bit before bidding us adieu :)
I anxiously wait all winter for this moment, Naturgirl. As yours, my heart sings ... Yea spring!
So sweet, dear Brenda ... how about shared evenings ... one in your inviting outside room and one up here at the lake :)
Thank you, Maggie. Love your comment ~ silhouettes at dusk are haunting, watching the depth of evening grow.
Karen, you're a dear! Touched by your note, I'll respond. Rushed to leave this AM, we are here not only enjoying the moment but with a huge agenda for my visually impaired sister who also lives here getting her, after 2 years living with us, connected with her own life back here at the lake. Hugs.
Dear Gail ~ a joy to embrace this magical time of year. We're most blessed to see the remains of winter (a bit of snow and ice on our lake) & hope of spring (sunset at 7:48). Yea equinox!
such lovely words about this most exciting season. it is a very inspirational time of the year. i never really understood it when i lived in florida. your sunsets over the lake remind me of our times at the cottage in canada. beautiful!
... and Happy Spring to you, dear Shady! Thank you for your kind thoughts.
LOL! Enjoy both worlds. Lucky you! Love, K
Surround snow and icy lake, dear Kathryn, make for stunning photos. Some time next month, the lake will thaw and the loons will return. The angle of the sun changes dramatically as days lenghten and seem to last forever! Summer Solstice ... sunset 9:25 PM
