Spring, Sprang, Sprung!

Spring 2006 has arrived!

"I am amazed at this spring, this conflagration
Of green fires lit on the soil of the earth, this blaze
Of growing, and sparks that puff in wild gyration"
--D.H. Lawrence

    If you are referring to the blue-flower picture on the upper left hand corner of the page, it is commonly called the "Texas Bluebonnets". It is one of five state flowers in Texas.

    As a historian once said: "The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France, the rose to England, and the tulip to Holland."

    Here in California, our state flower is the Golden Poppy. I'd posted a picture of this flower not too long ago.

    Being originally from Texas I have to agree with you on that L'Envoi. The bluebonnet is some us Texans are very proud of and consider very beautiful...

    Good deal, Irish. Keep me posted of your schooling. Here are some verses of encouragement by Emily Dickinson, appropriately, for you:

    The brain is wider than the sky,
    For, put them side by side,
    The one the other will include
    With ease, and you beside.

    The brain is deeper than the sea,
    For, hold them, blue to blue,
    The one the other will absorb,
    As sponges, buckets do.
