Winter take your bow, Exit stage left.--

"This spring as it comes bursts up in bonfires green,
Wild puffing of emerald trees, and flame-filled bushes,
Thorn-blossom lifting in wreaths of smoke between
Where the wood fumes up and the watery, flickering rushes.
I am amazed at this spring, this conflagration
Of green fires lit on the soil of the earth, this blaze
Of growing, and sparks that puff in wild gyration,
Faces of people streaming across my gaze."
- D. H. Lawrence, The Enkindled Spring

Spring- is one of my most favourite seasons. I absolutely love spring. I love the smell. I love the feel. I love the colours that are brought with it. I love the birds that come back with spring. I love Easter. I love spring.

Spring is fresh. It feels fresh. It feels new. Spring feels fun. It makes me feel adventurous. Spring is happy. Spring is like a rush of adrenaline.

I don't know if I'm making any sense. It's hard to explain how spring feels. Spring is like opening a present. You untie the bow, then pull off the wrapping paper, then inside it's summer. I can't wait for summer, but I don't mind spring lingering. I'm tired of Winter.

I'm not going to pretend I love the muggy-ness that comes with Spring, I hate it. I hate humidity and it being muggy, BUT I LOVE spring and summer endlessly. I love the way the grass get's really green and flowers blooming, the birds seem to come more alive, colours are brighter, flowers bloom. With Spring comes Summer and with Summer comes.... THE BEACH!

I'm a beach girl, I love the beach. I also like walking through parks while Spring blooms. I'm crazy, I love the warm/ hot weather. Hot temperatures don't bother me as much. I hate being cold. Spring is amazing.

With spring comes more camping opportunities. Spring brings the Flowertown Festival. I've gone a few times and loved it. I don't normally like crowded busy areas, but I love it during this time. The roads leading through a beautiful part of town, walking it on foot looking at the different booths, and seeing all kinds of different people.

Spring is when I like laying out in a grassy area with a blanket and a book. I love taking spring photography. I love being able to leave my window open and feel the "Spring breeze" come through it. I love it all. Even the rain seems to smell better.

I think I've gone off enough about spring. But I'm just so excited for it. I'm tired of the cold weather. Winter has worn out her stay. I went off on a spring rant because today felt amazing outside. I didn't have to wear a coat or jacket outside today. The weather was warmer than it's been in a long time. It felt good. I've been seeing robins and blue birds everywhere. So pring must be close right? I think if it gets seriously cold again I might just cry. : / I REALLY want spring!


Okay, I'm done.:]

O.o Starting a blog?

A blog. Me? Me, keep up with a blog? O.o We'll just have to see!
Hmmm, I enjoy reading, I'll read almost anything. I love select literature; Edger Allan Poe, C.S.Lewis, James Herriot, Harper Lee- yes, I like "To Kill A Mockingbird".
I love photography, especially wild life/ nature photography. I love listening to music.
I have many friends that enjoy spending time with:] I attend an awesome church. I don't talk a lot. I'm not antisocial, I'm just really shy. I use quotes--- A LOT! I'm still in high school and maybe one day I'll make it out, but at this point I just don't know. What do I want to do with my life? I jus' dunno! My older sister is just one of my many heroes!

... I like Western movies, especially with John Wayne! I love the outdoors and sleeping under the stars. I listen to everything, but bluegrass and country most of all, next to christian music. One of the all time favourite bands is Rush of Fools.

This is just one of the many horses at the barn where I enjoy spending my time.










Here's to a fresh new attempt at a blog. :]
