“She who loves a garden loves the joys of simple living and peace on which no man can put a price.” ~ Mary Englebright

It’s that time again! The days we all look forward to with such anticipation. The days when the sun shines bright and we can feel it’s warmth on our face. We can wear a flouncy skirt and a floral apron and pick a daffodil which spring has so kindly welcomed into the world!

There is something soothing and surreal about the spring-time. It is comfort for the soul, withered by a long winter. It helps us come to the recollection that it is finally time to bloom again! I think that women every-where have always welcomes with open arms, Lady Spring.

It is pleasant to imagine Laura Ingalls Wilder walking the prairie in calico apron, feeling the same warm thoughts as I do. And it seems to me that the crocuses, daffodil’s, Iris’s and other early spring flowers that can withstand the hardships of the cold nights and last winter frost are the ones that bloom so very beautifully.

“The true way to live is to enjoy every moment as it passes, and surely it is in the everyday things around us that the beauty of life lies.” ~Laura Ingalls Wilder
