All the daffydowndillys growing so fine

 

Remind me that spring has sprung

 

It's not all in my mind

Beautiful colorful flowers, songs to be sung

 


 

 

Ring around the Rosie, Pocket full of Posies

 

Remember those days of yesteryear

 

 

 


 

I have to just hum it , while writing this now

 

Aren't you so glad that Springtime is here

As she enters spring with a spring in her step
We all know her rebirth sure makes her act silly
All the love she's been give, she certainly kept
If you don't know her by now; she's sure one sharp dilly!

Oh, yes, Elsie, I am so glad Spring has sprung. But so far it continues to spring backwards also. Maybe now it will stay. Those are some very nice photographs.
William Dotani Apr 22, 2009, 5:46am EDT
The verse and layout are fantastic. This is a great Spring fling.
Kamran Qureshi Apr 22, 2009, 5:51am EDT
Seems you have a delightful spring over there!
Kathryn E. Apr 22, 2009, 6:02am EDT
So beautiful and now I do hear the birds singing outside on this fine spring morning. Monday was windy, yesterday it was pouring, but today looks promising.

Thank you for sending spring my way.

Yes, nothing like spring~

Ah everyones' thoughts and fantasies turn to spring. It's that time of year. And no one does it better than you, dear Elsie.
Judging by the photos the snow has gone and all the colours are out. Time to rejoice. Time to dance around the Maypole. Let me take your hand, Elsie.

Reminds me of a fellow who confused daffodils with dandelions. He was pointing out yellow flowers and calling them "daffylions"!
Sandra H. Apr 22, 2009, 7:06am EDT
Very nice post, pretty photos!
Tammy N. Apr 22, 2009, 7:17am EDT
Lovely post! I have the hum going in my head as well now.
Trish A. Apr 22, 2009, 7:25am EDT
Beautiful! I needed to see this because it is still cold in Kentucky. I crave the warmth of spring. We had a taste of it and it slipped away. Word is that it should be warm again this weekend and I plan on soaking up the rays of the sun. Thanks for the reminder that it is on the way.
Elaine S. Apr 22, 2009, 8:03am EDT
Very Nice!................Pretty photos.

Love the pictures. It is finally going to feel like spring again today...we've had 2 weeks of cold and wet. Now, a few great days are on the way.
Janie E. Apr 22, 2009, 9:12am EDT
Yes, I'm glad that spring has sprung, although it calls for hotter weather!! Who cares when you hear the birds singing and you see the sun shining?
Jennifer aka Jenn B. Apr 22, 2009, 9:44am EDT
glad to see your spirit is up

Springfield, evening

How fortunate you are
spring finally arrived
here the temps dangle cool
spring is more contrived.

But have no fear
sun is lurcking in the sky
I am hoping real soon
to tell winter goodbye

Good stuff
Renee S. Apr 22, 2009, 10:52am EDT
Those were some wonderful pictures. I love spring.

Wonderful poem and pictures. Although winter is my favorite season, I do enjoy the spring time.

Spring days haven't really made themselves known yet here in New England. I enjoy each Spring day we are blessed with.

Lovely, Elsie! You've triggered some beautiful memories of springtime past. My mom used to sing the Daffydowndilly song.
Marge H. Apr 22, 2009, 6:01pm EDT
Sounds like Kentucky is having the same kind of weather WI is. It looks like spring has sprung by you anyway Elsie. Still waiting for it here.

Fun poem and lovely pics.
Angela M. Apr 22, 2009, 8:11pm EDT
Today was the first day I went outside barefoot, it was such a beautiful day.
I just love watching all of the birds at the bird feeder.
Thank you for sharing

Yes, spring is finally here in Nebraska.......84 here this afternoon.
It feels nice now, no humidity, but watch out when that gets here.

thanks for sharing neat pictures, I think spring left here, been raining here off and on the last couple days. There was even talk of snow.
Donald M. Apr 23, 2009, 4:23pm EDT
Wonderful Elsie, sounds like you are a school girl jumping rope and singing. The signs of Spring all around you.

Oh how lovely Elsie! And yes indeed, this spring warmth and sunshine has me feeling happy, even if it does still try to rain in the mornings.
