Through all the frozen winter
My nose has grown most lonely
For lovely, lovely, colored smells
That come in springtime only.
The purple smell of lilacs,
The yellow smell that blowsAcross the air of meadows
Where bright forsythia grows.
The fall pink smell of
peach trees,
The low white smell of
clover,And everywhere the great green smell
Of grass the whole world over.

ReplyDeleteWe are a bit ahead of the rest of the country here in Oregon. Just this week, my Daphne bloomed and it is my favorite spring smell! The hyacinths will come next followed by the lilacs....all a treasure! I hope spring finds a way into the other bits of the country soon! Beth @ Words & Stitches, pbstrand@msn.com
ReplyDeleteLove the smell of a spring rain as I watch it wash away all the salt and sand left from winter and the fragrance of the peonies.

ReplyDeleteWaiting anxiously for my hyacinths to bloom, they are just now peeking through the soil. But today we have another winter storm warning, with possible snow, sleet and ice. Will winter ever end?

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty version of the Weathervane block!
ReplyDeleteIt is clear today in northeasternmost Illinois but the wind is brisk and right out of the north. Still winter!!
My favorite smell of Spring (& Summer) is grilled meat! Can't wait till it's warm enough to start grilling.

ReplyDeleteI miss spring so much this year. The smells and the colors are all so exhilarating after a long cold winter.
ReplyDeleteI miss the smell of old fashion Iris, grape Hyacinthia, Day Lillies so tall and orange. Fresh mowed hay in the fields and summer air after a cleansing rain.
