Winter Melt

We wait, we watch and know it will be soon.

Sweet Spring

I feel you close

and know that you will come

to awaken the land, and all

our souls.

Looking forward to the spring myself! Yes I agree with JTB . . . the Celtic in you is quite evident here.
I believe God has given us spring as a reminder of his grace.

I am a non believer. Reading 'Origin' right now and agree with it. Cheers Tom.

That's OK John . . . to each his own I say.

Has a prayerlike quality, this one. I can imagine a medieval Celtic monk repeating it over and over in the darkness of his cell on an icy winter morning. Something we moderns might want to keep hanging on our walls too. Nice.

Celtic Monk be damned, that is me chanting! I am a sun worshiper and despite a mild winter thus far long to be able to just go outdoors with bare skin and not have to rush back for warmth. Many thanks and hope spring comes your way soon too.

here in Southern Illinois we get springlike weather for a few days...but it is a teaser...all of a sudden we are frigid again....can't make up its mind.

Now that is cruel nature. Offering you hope then plunging you back into the winter of discontent. Here in the England Midlands we have no real cause for complaint as it has been a very mild winter so far. But those weather pessimists are predicting snow tomorrow! Many thanks Jacob

We wait with frozen hands, hearts and feet, for it to be so. Just a pity it feels like winter has been going on for 13 months of the year so far, but it will make spring all the sweeter for the wait. :)

Indeed so, not being a winter person I dress in 'T' shirts all year in defiance so am very grateful when spring arrives lol. Cheers Lorry.
