Hello Spring!!
Dear Spring,
It's that time of year when the leaves begin to pop out from branched buds to wave a welcome as you approach. Shy bulb flowers start to show their faces.
I love the way you arrive in a cloud of blossom, bearing armfuls of colourful flowers and a warm sunny smile.
Your friends, the birds and butterflies, are always close on your heels and soon it's one big happy party complete with lively bird song and heavenly scented breezes.
Even the sun stays up later and later to join in the fun.
Dear Spring, I'm so happy that you've come to visit us again.
Happy flowers to everyone!

It's nice to see spring popping over there, as autumn turns here. Your posts always make me smile!
ReplyDeleteAll of your stitching & flowers are gorgeous! As we are suppose to be heading into fall--we are having one heck of a heat wave here. Happy Spring to You!!!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the colourful vases and flowers :o)
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring! Thanks for sharing those gorgeous flower photos.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are always as colorful as those beautiful spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteIm loving seeing flowers start to shyly pop up their heads . I even have a few tulips that have bloomed.
ReplyDeleteYour happy spring makes our fall happy!!
ReplyDeleteAs always, I wish you were just next door. (Though if you were, you would be wishing for autumn rather than spring.) My dear florist, your flower posts are always a joy!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to spring! What a delightful way to begin. The flowers in front of pocketful of posies are my absolute favourite pic in the post. We have an early scarlet poppy (just one)blooming at the moment. Our dear girl gravely inspects it. We have also just got spring chickens - 3 girls, Drusilla, Cassandra and Hetty Feather! Yay Spring.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fabulous day for the start of spring. I wish I could grow spring flowers here, sigh!
ReplyDeleteParticularly love that first pic, the one of the poppy! It is just right!
ReplyDeleteRanuncs and poppies are two of my fave flowers to photograph. Pity we are heading into winter here but that is how the cycle goes! No spring without winter!
I adore your vase collection, they are just perfect with those bright flowers! It is so wonderful to be over the winter and right into Spring - we are madly gardening and preparing for Summer now!
ReplyDeleteJoy and colour!!
yeah for spring and poppies!!! one of my very favorite flowers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. Although looking out the window, it looks like Winter has made a swift and chilly return!!
ReplyDeleteHappy spring my dear friend -
ReplyDeleteI love your poem (yes, it is a poem) and captures the feeling and longing of spring perfectly.
There is nothing like it after a long dark winter.
enjoy the flowers, birds and breezes.
I'm looking forward to fall myself ;)

I'm looking forward to the Autumn equinox on September 23 here in Canada. These last few days of Summer have been lovely, we have a bit of rain today and a bit more of Autumn temperatures.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious why you are saying it is the first day of Spring in Australia?
Hi Sandi, in Australia our seasons begin with the beginning of the month, not by the equinoxes like some countries do. I'm not sure why it's different.
DeleteEnjoy your spring, we are enjoying heading into fall. I prefer fall to winter for the color. Although the many shades of white in the mountain snows are pretty spectacular.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers and words :-)
It cracks me up when people think that "Natural" colors are BEIGE!!. I'm glad I found a house that is covered in Nature!!
ReplyDeleteSpring is wonderful and so are your photos
