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!

Remember, we all stumble, every one of us.  That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.  ~Emily Kimbrough

Snowflakes are kisses from heaven.  Author Unknown

When I no longer thrill to the first snow of the season, I'll know I'm growing old.   Lady Bird Johnson

How About a Belly Laugh!!

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty!!

People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.
Anton Chekhov

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer.

Someone Had to Remind Me -- So Now It's Your Turn!

Don't laugh....It is all true! Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 And heading towards 70 or beyond! 1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you. 2. In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first. 3. No one expects you to run -- anywhere. 4. People call at 9PM (or 9AM) and ask,'Did I wake you? 5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. 6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way. 7. Things you buy now won't wear out. 8. You can eat supper at 4 PM. 9. You can live without sex but not your glasses. 10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans. 11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge. 12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room. 13. You sing along with elevator music. 14. Your eyes won't get much worse. 15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. 16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service. 17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either. 18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size. 19. You can't remember where you read this. And you notice these are all in big print for your convenience. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: Never, NEVER, NEVER, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill, and a laxative on the same night!

 One of the wonderful places to visit in my world come spring is the Lavender Festival and I'm sharing one of my visits with you today. The colors are exquisite and the fragrance that fills the air is delightful and everyone including a pair of llamas had a great day!!  I've included some history from Wikapedia of the town where the festival is held every year. It's pretty interesting.

Adopt the pace of nature:  her secret is patience.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.  ~Kahlil Gibran

The poetry of the earth is never dead.  ~John Keats

The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man.  ~Author Unknown

The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.  ~Galileo

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.  ~Albert Einstein

Sequim ⁱ/ˈskwɪm/ is a city in Clallam County, Washington, United States. As of the 2010 census counted a population of 6,606. Sequim is located along the Dungeness River near the base of the Olympic Mountains. The city has been increasing in population dramatically in recent years due to the influx of retirees from the Puget Sound region and California.
Sequim lies within the rainshadow of the Olympic Mountains and receives on average less than 15 inches (380 mm) of rain per year—about the same as Los Angeles, California. Yet the city is fairly close to some of the wettest temperate rainforests of the contiguous United States. This climate anomaly is sometimes called the blue hole of Sequim.^[6] Fogs and cool breezes from the Juan de Fuca Strait make Sequim's environment more humid than would be expected from the low average annual precipitation. Some places have surprisingly luxuriant forests dominated by Douglas-fir and western red cedar. Black cottonwood, red alder, bigleaf maple, Pacific madrone, lodgepole pine and Garry oak can also be large. 
The city and the surrounding area are particularly known for the commercial cultivation of lavender, supported by the unique climate: it makes Sequim the "Lavender Capital of North America", rivaled only in France. The area is also known for its Dungeness crab.
Sequim is pronounced as one syllable, with the e elided: "skwim". The word comes from the Klallam language. 

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty!!

I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.
Lewis Carroll

My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt
away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.
 George R.R. Martin

Winter is the time of promise because there is so little to do - or because you can now and then permit yourself the luxury of thinking so.  Stanley Crawford
