Signs of Spring

"Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"... 

"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…”

~ Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant;

if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."

~Anne Bradstreet

"Spring is when life's alive in everything."

~ Christina Rossetti
