If there comes a little thaw,
Still the air is chill and raw, Here and there a patch of snow,
Dirtier than the ground below,
Dribbles down a marshy flood;
Ankle-deep you stick in mud
In the meadows while you sing,
"This is Spring."
-Christopher Pearce Cranch
I just love the imagery of in the meadows while you sing.
HAPPY SPRING!

Visiting your site always makes me take a breath, and feel the peace of your farmhouse. Thank you.
I love daffodils. We are awaiting the arrival of 80 new bulbs to plant for our southern hemisphere spring later this year. Your flowers are always so beautiful, and I'm so envious of the flower farm! I don't know of anything like that here in Tasmania.
Happy spring to you too Trina. I cannot wait to see those babies enjoying the sunshine. You've a lot to look forward to. xoxo
Beautiful quote, thank you for helping to remind myself how important it is to appreciate what is here and now, instead of dwelling on the things out of our control. I receive so much enjoyment from you're blog. Thank you.
after getting 2" of snow today I am going to hold on dearly to a Happy Spring, if only in my mind!
hugs to your and the sweetpeas (and to Mike and Lucy too!)
xoj.
Love everything about Spring. What's not to love about new beginnings!
Just stumbled upon your blog the other day and I absolutely love it! And your home! Just beautiful! Happy Spring to you as well. :)
I am so excited about spring after weeks and weeks and weeks of northern CA rain - so lovely to see brightness on your blog!
Happy Spring to you! How are you getting along these days? Those daffodils are breathtaking! I've been meaning to get some...I keep seeing them on sale everywhere. ;) I think I just might!
Hugs,

i was just begining to see my chives and lupins and then we got more snow:) sure has been a long winter!
I've missed Spring these last 4 years as we've lived in the Philippines... so this year is extra beautiful!
Happy Spring! One of my favorite times of the year. :)
Trina,
Happy spring to you! Be sure to give us pics of those sweet babies in the garden!

Oh, the daffodils always make me feel happy. It's even more exciting when you can see them in your own garden! Enjoy!
I love the part about the mud... oooh, can't you just feel that? LOL

Happy Spring Trina!! Such a bright and beautiful image...and that sweet little poem captured early spring perfectly...those little tinges of old winter still floating about but slowly being taken over by springs beauty, yay!
I'm sure Graham & Margaret will one day be singing in *your* meadows...and very often too!
xo J~
Here in Staffordshire we're having glorious spring weather...makes you feel like singing, doesn't it?
Hello Trina!
While we wait for spring to come here in Norway, I am enjoying myself with ranuculus and other signs of spring - indoor. It is perhaps cheating a bit, but it makes the waiting period easier! I love your blog, and look forward to many beautiful photos as we as we approach summer. I'm curious to see more of your garden, as I am sure will be a great place for your sweet babies to play .. If you have the time, it would be so nice if you visited my blog, it has a translation-button ;)

Happy Spring to you! Carla
Beautiful! Happy Spring!
OH, to have such flowers blooming in our gardens instead of this SNOW!!!!!!!
Little blooms of yellow sunshine right back at you!
Lovely poem! I look out the window at the constant rain, and wish for Spring:) Thank you for sharing the picture and poem!
I came to visit by way of Homestead Revival.
Happy Spring! =) YaY!
Daffodils scream Spring...gorgeous!!
Happy Spring to you too! Now if it would only show up outside here! Well worth the wait. Can't wait to see the daffodils and tulips pop up. :)
