Only Time Will Tell

Spring has been trying to appear this whole winter with warm days interspersed with freezing cold..Spring plants started to bloom in December with blossoms freezing and turning brown..In this spot on a hillside next to a swift running creek, frost appears with the slightest drop in temperature turning those lovely buds and blossoms brown..The beauty that is spring's finest hour has been tempered to a few spraggly blossoms on this hillside..The spring green of the trees has come alive in the last few days adorning my weary eyes with beauty..That wonderful green interspersed with white of a few blossoms.. willow's spring green leaves swayed by the cold north west breeze.. bird pecks frozen bath Spring has sprung but winter still trys to linger chilling and killing the pear crop and the blueberries that have formed..Will it just be a slight thinning or will it totally wipe out this fall's fruits?...Only time will tell...

And hopefully this time will show a beautiful spring to come! I don't like a frozen spring, I like it cool, but not cold, and this spring has been cold! I want life again, to see beauty in living plants would be wonderful! Your descriptions were spot on, except up here where I live we haven't seen much warm weather, not like the south! You have written a delightful poem my friend, a stupendous piece, Great Work!!
