Can a heart have thoughts? It must, because with the snow melting, the weather warming, the sun out, my fancies turn not to love (I’m blessed to already have that), but to spring. To that warmth that isn’t really warm except by contrast. To the brave bits of bright colors peeping out from under all those neutrals. To the life lurking under all that mud. To the sounds of birds and dripping water. To the rebirth of life.
This is what my heart sees.
It’s coming!
I know. I don’t want to think about it too much too soon, but I know it’s coming. 🙂

ahhh – such lovely words, Janet – read so nicely – and the photo reminded me that around this time of Feb we usually have daffodils outside – and need to go look on the side to see if they emerged yet (and cheers to thoughts ofspring)
Right now, and probably for some time yet, they’ll just be thoughts. But I’m fine with that; the anticipation is part of the joy. Have wonderful weekend, Yvette.
janet
beautiful – and me too!
🙂 May it come sooner rather than later.

Soon enough, Janet. It’s coming.
I love thinking about it. 🙂
These thoughts in your heart made me smile! I’m feeling the same way. Spring is beginning to bloom here. My flowering plum is in bloom, and I’m noticing Tulip green popping up, and some Daffodils here and there. It’s coming!
Of course there you’re ahead of us, but don’t you think the anticipation of spring is one of the exciting things about it? One of the best things about seasons is anticipating the next one (although I supposed many don’t look forward to winter, but I do.)

What a gorgeous photo! I do love spring.
Thad, Jackie. I do, too. This shot was taken on the park on one of those transition days.
janet
Oh we are a loooooong way from blosssomville here in the Northeast Kingdom…
In Chicagoland as well, Ron. But a woman can dream.
janet
I second your sentiments that were so eloquently worded! I have not yet seen the daffodils or crocus here, but they should be soon.
It may be some time yet here, Madison, but I’ll wait as patiently possible.
janet
Lovely! It’s usually worth waiting for. 🙂 🙂 Have a great weekend, Janet!
Thanks, Jo. You as well.
Lovely – daffodils are my favourite flowers. 🙂
Mine, too, Elaine. I’m looking forward to them coming up this year, even though it may be a month or so. Thanks for taking time to comment.
janet
🙂 Looks good!
A very HAPPY Sunday to you, dear Janet! 🙂
And to you, Claudia. 🙂
So good to see you are at last getting signs of spring
Unfortunately, we aren’t. This was from a prior spring. We have a few inches of new snow from last night and fog, quite beautiful, though.
janet
You are having a long winter this year
Our winter often goes from Nov.-March. We’ll see how this year goes.
That is a long time to be cold…
Lovely shot…here it is very cold now and we are expecting more snow. But – I can dream, just like you
It will probably still be a dream here for some weeks, but that’s fine. It’s a good dream.
janet
Yes, spring is little tiny pops of colour against neutrals. And flashes of sunshine between cloud!
And all so very welcome, right? 🙂
