Wealth of Spring Assorted spring flowers, naked, rise in morning sun Breaking through a thin blanket of snow, earth spun. Cascades of dainty narcissus smile with golden faces Drinking up the sun as morning warmth embraces. Enjoy the heavenly floral scent that gardens bring. Fledglings high in tree nests sense that it is spring. Growing fast they will soon gain courage to take flight, Hovering low over canopies, it is their birthright! Irises spring forth in hopes to match the sky Just as daffodils claim the colors of sun’s eye. Keep the cherry blossom's imprint in your mind Leaving memories of pink poetic petals that you find. Moments spent in this season’s refreshing rain Nurture and inspire a poet’s muse again. Only spring can coax the lovely lilac’s bloom Perfuming breezes, singing springtime’s tune. Quaint bird houses dot the country lanes Rewarding visions viewed through window panes. Spring reclaims our joyful mood as winter ends, Treating us to vivid colors this season sends. Uncloaking animals in snowy hibernation, Verdant becomes the blessings of vegetation. Wealth is seen in all the colors of sweet spring Xylogenous creatures in forests are welcoming. Yellowthroat warblers singing in trees greet melting snow. Zephyr’s enchant, as they scatter blossoms down below. 2/16/20 rev.

You made the ABC look so easy - a stunning achievement. And beautiful garden poetry to boot. Well done! I remember doing this style and cheating at one point with that finicky X line, saying "Xcelling" instead of "Excelling". Ha! I don't know if that counts or not ... buuuut.

Connie, I enjoyed how you maintained a cadence as you descended the treacherous slope toward Z. All the while encapsulating the miracle of Spring. -Richard

Thank you WW. She is a Preemie 2.89 lbs (1293 grams) born at 4:52 pm Pacific time. No name yet. I am thrilled she is doing so well at 7 weeks early. I got to see her for a few moments on face time. My daughter is doing fine too. xxoo
