Pining for spring...
...and it's only January!
"Here Primrose, Cowslips, Roses, Lilies blow
With Violets and Pinks that void perfumes:
Whose beauteous leaves o'erlaid with Honey Dew,
And Chanting birds Chirp out sweet Music true."
--from "Upon Wedlock, and Death of Children" by Edward Taylor, c. 1682
