It's funny, there seems to be no other season whose advent we await with such concentration. When does spring pass into summer? I dunno.

It may be the only time of year we treasure our brave little weeds like coltsfoot and dandelion.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.com
