We had a lovely, sunny day on Sunday and how welcome it was after a week of gray skies, heavy fog and bone chilling cold!! And I found myself thinking about spring and all the beautiful colors that we see here. So, today I'm sharing some of the colors of our springs from past years! Hope you enjoy!

An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.
Mohandas Gandhi

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Virginia Woolf

Don't gain the world  and lose your soul, wisdom Is better than silver or gold.
Bob Marley

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.
Mohandas Gandhi
You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.

    I want one huge snow storm and then I want Spring to come. That's not too much to ask, is it?
