Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"
The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring. ~Bern Williams
May your heart be full of hope and gladness in this new season.

gorgeous wonderful sentiment and pics and I love the fairy!!!
I'm so jealous that your crocus came up!
Looks like spring is springing in your neck of the woods :-) New life everywhere we look...certainly does bring a smile a gardener's face, doesn't it :-)
The quote you used is new to me and so fitting for this amazing and beautiful time of year! Wonderful post Ginny.
Not sure why I torture myself by looking at so many spring-looking blog posts, but I don't seem to stop myself. It gives me hope that spring will eventually reach zone 4. Gorgeous photos.

Love the photos and the quotes.. Wonderful post!
I love the Bern Williams quote! It is wonderful to see beautiful spring blooms. I particularly like your second photo!
My garden is just now waking up. Hooray!! It's restorative to know that spring is just around the corner. Beautiful pictures. :)
Great words by Bern Williams. Pleased to say Spring is also showing here in Scotland.
Such beauty to inspire me and remind me spring will indeed happen here in Wisconsin too, despite another snowstorm today. Love the hellebore, everything is so pretty.
Lovely words and beautiful images. Very uplifting.
Creative combination of images and words. That must be why we say: "Hope springs eternal." See you inspired me!
