Oh SO pretty. This post made me fell a little lighter, great quotes, i like the Monet one the best--fascinating and i have a feeling you might say something similar about yourself?
C'mon spring!

From Jubliate Agno by Christopher Smart (1762)...just for you :)
For there is no Height in which there are not flowers.
For flowers have great virtues for all the senses.
For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary.
For the flowers have their angels even the words of God's Creation.
For the warp and woof of flowers are worked by perpetual moving spirits.
For flowers are good both for the living and the dead.
For there is a language of flowers.
For there is a sound reasoning upon all flowers.
For elegant phrases are nothing but flowers.
For flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.
For flowers are medicinal.
For flowers are musical in ocular harmony.
For the right names of flowers are yet in heaven. God make gard'ners better nomenclators.
how i LOVE all of these spring flowers! the color, the flowers...it all makes me so HAPPY :)
best wishes to you!
