"I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
And crocus fires are kindling one by one:
Sing robin, sing:
I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring."- Christina Rossetti
I'm not a big Christina Rossetti fan, but this poem sure hits the spot for me right now...

Spring has sprung.

I wonder where
Doughs boides is?
I always heard it "I wonder where them flowers iz?"
But yours is funnier!!!
Spring has sprung
The grass will grow
No more stepping
In yellow snow. ;)
Made up on the spot.
Lovely shot of the robin on the snow-covered branches.
I WISH the snow were yellow around here. No wait, maybe I don't..... Anyway it's grossly beige-to-charcoal, what's left of it.
It got warm today!
Love the poem, Melissa! It definitely copies my feelings about bringing on spring! I love robins. They're a good indicator that it's here!
I've been feeding the squirrels at work (pizza crust and anything else I can find) and I am seeing some really fat ones lately. Is that a sign of spring?
