We need you to come back.
You have no idea how much we miss you!
We want to play in your warmth and bask in your glory!
You make the days longer and longer so that we can stay out later and later.
Our lives just aren’t the same without you! Return to us!
We are calling on you to awaken the land! Arise!
Fling off your sadness so that we may play with the ducks again!
Keep your promise of swing sets and warm winds!
Oh how we long to clean dirt from between our toes again!
We know you desire to bloom recklessly and we join in that desire! Bloom!
Release your bounty to us! Share!
We are hungry for more than your nourishment! Awaken!
Your ancient gladness longs to be explored! Smile!
You can bring us out together without reserve! Shine!
Wake us from our cold, dark slumber! Provoke!
Playtime shouldn’t end so early or often! Rejoice!
We’ll throw off our coats and blankets for you! Be with us!
Our trees and vision are brown and bare! We need green!
Oh spring, we have faith that you will be back soon. It’s just not soon enough!
You are a poet!

If it is going to be cold then I want snow so that I can build another giant snowface in the yard.

Amen. Enough said.

Very nice plea for Spring Ryan. I long for it myself!

Spring has arrived in GA it seems! Within the next 6 weeks or so the pears and cherries will be blooming, my boxwoods have loads of new growth on them, we’ve already got new green grass shooting up in our yards, the weeds have started poking their pesky little tops through my flower beds, and our spring rains have begun. How I love the South!

Hey! I LOVE winter. I love the cold, the clothes, the holidays IN winter, I love seeing my breath in the morning, the crispness of the air, the white of the snow (on the trees and yards, NOT on the roads). I absolutely hate summer. Despise it. With all my being. Spring and fall are way too short around Cincinnati to even count as seasons. It’s winter then months and months of agonizing blistering, sweltering heat. Yuck. So there. I love the cold and wish it were cold all year round. Guess I need to move further north. But I’m from Buffalo, so I’m used to this.

You obviously don’t live in Maine. Spring is cold and Rainy in Maine (and sometimes snowy). The only good thing about Spring in Maine is that we’re one step closer to Summer…and there is NO PLACE better in the summer than Maine.
Great pics! Were they SOOC? Those carrots are so vivid!

I’m OK with winter through Christmas and New Year’s. In fact, it wouldn’t feel like Christmas to me if it wasn’t cold and there wasn’t an excuse to drink cocoa and throw a couple of extra blankets on the bed.
But after Jan. 1, forget it. That’s when I can’t stand winter. I will say, though, that a long winter does make me appreciate spring a lot more.

It was 56 degrees in my office this morning.
It’s also too dark too early – no more evening walks for awhile.

Spring is far away I will continue to bask in Winter and the promise for growth yet to come, we have been blanketed by snow and God has blanketed my family with love these last few weeks. I am rejoicing in it, having fun up to our knees and waists buried in the glorious white, wishing our souls could always be as clean and white as the snow. We need winter so that spring can come.
