Spring has Arrrived!
I should have picked a new bouquet of daffodils yesterday.Two days after the arrival of spring, Williamsburg got more snow last night than we've had all winter. One of my favorite lines from a poem by A. E. Houseman goes like this:
Since to look at things in bloom,
fifty springs leaves little room,
about the woodland I will go
to see the cherry hung with snow.
What he is writing about, of course, is the beauty of snow-covered trees in winter. He is not writing about my crabapple tree pictured here in bloom and covered with snow.
Surely, there is a poem in this picture.
