There are few things as sweet as a baby giggling in his sleep.

The snowdrops and crocus are up, finally. Winter is holding on hard this year. Other springs, we have had daffodils by now. I am always so happy to see the little spots of color in the flowerbeds. When I was out taking photos the other day, I smiled to see the determination of spring's flowers. The crocus obviously was under too many leaves, so it grew straight threw a hole in one of them.

Oh there are so many wonderful quotes about spring, I hardly know which to use. The first for its beauty, the second for its humor and the third for its truth:

“The splendor of the rose and the whitness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its lovliness.” ~ Therese of Lisieux

“Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.” ~ Doug Larson

“The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.” ~ Henry Van Dyke
