Town Crier of Spring

A crocus in focus
Town crier of spring
I rejoice in your message
Glad tidings you bring
Your voice is vivacious
And loud it doth ring
Now even the robins
have joined you to sing.

Some of you may have noticed
I have not been hanging out in the blog world quite as much.
I have spring fever
and I’ve begun planting seeds, pulling weeds, and other good garden deeds.
Oh, yippee! I love spring.
I do hope you’re all enjoying the extra sunshine
as it spotlights the floral tapestry
or fills you with hope
that soon buds will be blooming in your neighborhood too.
Blooming Blessings ❀ Wendy
What a lovely bouquet of poems and pictures! I am glad you’ve been able to garden more, though I certainly look forward to your blogging visits, too! Spring is here in FL, as well as L’s spring break–for now I sit with him as he coughs and rests!
Enjoy your garden! Blessings–Alison
Thank you, Alison! Two of our kids are sick right now also… My tomato seeds have sprouted on the window ledge and I’ve planted peas, sweet peas, and potatoes under protection. Seeds always make me think of hope. Hope in Christ!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Lovely photos. I always look forward to the spring flowers.
Thank you, Annie! I love how they don’t require much attention as blooms do in the heat of summer.
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
What a blessing your poems are… they make my heart very excited for spring … even when it still seams so far off in my place 🙂
Thank you, Heidi! It is still cool here (not cold), and so I can do the heavier work, now, without getting over-heated. I hope you are getting lots of sunshine – I love sunlight on snow!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
I can’t wait for spring! The pictures and poems are even more lovely considering its snowing outside today here in Cambridge…
May your spring come soon! I’ve heard that it’s been a very cold and white winter over there. Thank you for your visit!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy 🙂
Hello Wendy
Here it is unfortunately still very cold and there is snow. I’m waiting eagerly for spring.
Greetings
Gabi
Hi Gabi! I hope that you don’t have to wait for very long for spring.
Warm blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Exquisite, Wendy – photos, poems, accumulative effect! I don’t think I’ve used that word before about a post. Happy gardening, happy Spring!
Bless you!
Maria
Maria, you are a poet in words and spirit that you put such thought and care into a comment. Thank you and hugs! Happy spring to you too!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Hello Wendy,
Glad you are enjoying fair spring weather. Beautiful poetry and photos as always. We are all fortunate to be able to share your creativity,
Best wishes
Julian
Thank you, Julian! Perhaps I could post some of my flowers surrounded by hail – I’m amazed they survived!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy 🙂
I *love* these pictures and poems!!! 😀 Hope to see all these wonderful flowers in Amsterdam soon too! Hugs
Thank you, Calee! Hugs! Enjoy your holiday…I look forward to your posts!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
You’ve given me a real hunger for spring!
I hope you get to enjoy it in short order!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy 🙂
Love LOVE the ‘crocus in focus’ – and all of your spring colours. My soul is panting to see anything green and growing – and the snow keeps coming! *sigh* Winter’s time is running out, however, and soon I hope to be out weeding with you! 🙂
Melody, my middle child loved it too! He loves to draw, and I’ll bet it would be fun to draw this one… May your snow fly north and leave you with spring!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Lovely! blessings back ~ 🙂
Thank you, Linda, and hugs ~ Wendy xo
Such loveliness!!!

SO enjoyed your poems with the floral photos! Here in Southern California, our flowers are blooming around the house. Love the spring time! Praise The Lord : )
Teresa, spring is my favorite season! Yes, even creation praises him as each lifts its petals or leaves heavenward…
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
A charming post, Wendy! Hearty greetings, Wanda
Thank you and blessings, dear Wanda! xo
Your images are magnificent Wendy. For me that Crocus takes the prize. Your words are as glorious as your images.
Don, my “artist” son liked it best, too. Thank you!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy 🙂
WOW, you’ve been a busy lady, Wendy!! I love these poems and photos so much! We got snow flurries on the first day of spring–and a couple inches More the next day. I’m fretting about my Chinese Cherry Trees, “who” had already begun to blossom so prettily….otherwise, I wouldn’t care much. God bless you this Palm Sunday weekend–love, sis Caddo
Caddo, I’m getting muscles again after a slack winter! I hope those lovely trees’ blossoms fare well and not go farewell! Hugs!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Wendy, these poems and photos are exquisite! Don’t you worry about blogging right now .. follow your heart into the garden! We will be blessed with you as you do! God bless you bunches!
Thank you for your kind words, Debbie! Today it is a hike with my oldest son that will pull me away from the blog. 🙂 I appreciate how he watches out for me and encourages my picture taking. 😉
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Good morning from Oz!
How are you Wendy-Lee? I’m back from my holiday and looking forward to seeing photos of your beautiful flowers. Love and hugs to you…,Paula xxx
Welcome back from your holiday, Paulama! 🙂 Huge hugs! I’ll bet all the critters were glad to see you again… I’ll come on over to see if you’ve posted anymore vacation shots.
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Sadly no! But I will soon! Hugs xxxx
xo Hugs dear friend!
Thank your for sharing such gorgeous photos of spring; great pictures, fun, colorful, very enjoyable.
Thank you and blessings, dear Charlie ~ Wendy 🙂
Beautiful flowers!
Thank you, Tabea! 🙂
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
wonderful words to compliment your beautiful photos Wendy…enjoy your time planting seeds…we still have a great deal of snow so planting seeds isn’t happening here right now!
Thank you, Heather! I can only plant cool weather stuff for now, except in the greenhouse or under row cover. Enjoy your break from gardening…I’m breaking into it gradually so I don’t seize up! 😉
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Lovely pictures. The second is my favourite. I’m waiting for the snow to pass here in the UK so I can remember what the flowers in my garden look like 🙂
Laura, I’ve heard from several other UK bloggers that it’s been a very white winter for you all. I hope spring leaps onto the UK stage soon and makes up for the delay.
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Yesterday was the first day after the snow. Today is the first day there has been actual sun again. We’re getting there. Slowly.
Better late than never… yikes at the thought of never! 🙂
I think you’ve got the idea for Elfjes and Acrostic Elfjies down pat!
Lovely spring things. We’ve actually got snow trespassing on our spring today! Up to 7 inches predicted!
Thanks for your kind words and visits.
Cheers.
Thank you, Jules, for teaching us how to do Acrostic Elfjes!
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
Lovely spring offerings! I, too, am anxious to get out in the garden, especially with more sunshine these days. Now if the snow will finally disappear once and for all.
Thank you, Marilyn! May warm breezes sail your way and melt winter’s mantle.
Blessings dear friend ~ Wendy xo
