To this day, color is an enormous delight to me. It means experience, adventure of all kinds. ~Harry Behn, American screenwriter
When
You walk
With a dog
Outside in Spring,
You can’t help but see
That the world around us
Is greening and turning pink,
As new life bursts into color,
Trees shed their spent flowers, and sidewalks
Become magical pathways of beauty.

The return of springtime always brings with it naturally a revival of the sweetest hopes and deepest joys of human nature. The heart of man in springtime is naturally joyous; all nature rejoices around him, and he cannot but participate in the general anthem of thanksgiving, and unite his voice with the universal pæan of praise. ~W. J. Colville, English medium, lecturer, author, 1886
Happy Easter! Can you stand five more photos of Spring? I’ve turned off comments so you can enjoy without having to work too hard!
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, American author, educator, and clergyman
I can’t speak for everyone, but it seems to me that Central Illinois is weather-weary.
Tired of gray days and cold temperatures. Bored by day after day of rain and thunderstorms. Frustrated at the capriciousness of Mother Nature.
Still, on the one pretty day we’ve had since, oh, I don’t know, February or so, the Monk and I managed to get outdoors and look for signs that Spring is on the horizon.
Take a look at what we found!
Every mistake must be paid for, rarely by the person who committed it. ~Jacques Deval, French playwright, screenwriter, and film director
I Monkey here.
Mama says confession is good for the soul. I don’t know about that, but if I can teach another pup NOT to do what I’ve done, then maybe confession is all right.
Don’t thank me — I’m generous like that (or at least, I’m trying to be, it being Lent and all!)
