When daisies pied and violets blue
And lady-smocks all silver-white
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo;
Cuckoo, cuckoo: Oh word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
And merry larks are plowmen’s clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
And maidens bleach their summer smocks,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo;
Cuckoo, cuckoo: Oh word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
~ Spring by William Shakespeare
Sydney has been experiencing some of the strangest weather. One moment it's warm & lovely, the next, winds that leave you chilled to the bone! Today was perfect though. This evening I stepped outside into a dreamy breeze and was hit by the scent of Jasmine in the air - my favourite thing about this time of year. A smile immediately lit up my face.
What's your favourite thing about Spring?

This is so sweet. We wet our plants..tee hee. My favorite thing about spring is when I see the first Robin. Then I know it's official!

Teehee! I loved that "wet our plants" pic ;-)
DeleteYeah yeah the weather is pretty strange here too! It's been warm and then drops 30 degrees. My closet is a mess, not knowing what season.
