Spring Fever

Spring cleaning, Spring planting, Spring fever are all making an appearance at our house these days. As far as the weather goes, I've had my fill of gray days this past month.  The return of the doves and their perpetual cooing is the official sign that Spring has begun here in Houston.
Spring and Summer are the seasons I really love to lighten things up inside. Fresh flowers, a clean office, some luminous glass and a road trip on the horizon make up for the dirty windows, overflowing laundry baskets and weed-filled flower beds :)  

Though some of them, I'm certain, must

Stand for rage, bravado, lust,

All other notes that birds employ

Sound like synonyms for joy.

W.H. Auden
