~If Spring came but once a century instead
of once a year, or burst forth like an earthquake
and not in silence, what wonder and expectation
there would be in all the hearts to behold the
miraculous change.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow




~O the green things growing,the green things
growing, the faint smell of the green things
growing! I should like to live, whether I
smile or grieve , just to watch the happy life
of MY green things growing!
~Dinah M. Craik
