Every year spring delights and surprises. The joy of seeing flowers and trees come alive after the cold winter is extraordinary—and I never tire of the experience. There is nothing like spring!

And the Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

— Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) English Romantic poet

Without fail, spring makes me slow down and look around. Every day there is something new to see as the earth rises from its winter rest.

— Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) American writer and humorist
