A Riot of Color

Yesterday the trees were bare Today tiny buds sprout everywhere Bright flowers bloom within a day Lilacs, daffodils, bluebells Why wait for May Spring bursts forth in a riot of color If my tulips could speak they’d whoop and holler

So interesting to imagine what flowers would say, if given the power of speech, and whooping and hollering is a good guess, Gershon. Lovely! :)

Spring actually went away in Chicago. Saturday - 86 degrees fahrenheit. Today - 40's with a howler of a north wind. Had to wear earmuffs.
