DAY 141 - COUNTING DOWN TO THE 50TH

GOOD MORNING, CLASS OF '64
EARLY SPRING - DIANA CARD
It's spring fever. 

That is what the name of it is. 

And when you've got it, you want –

oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want,

but it just fairly makes your heart ache,

you want it so! 

 Mark Twain
Spring Through a Window
  It was such a spring day as breathes into a man an ineffable yearning, a painful sweetness, a longing that makes him stand motionless, looking at the leaves or grass, and fling out his arms to embrace he knows not what.
John Galsworthy, The Forsyte Saga
Flying Shadows - Willard Leroy Metcalf

Tree branches jiggle and sway.
To the east silver brightness 
tints a sky of dull grey. 
Imagination conjures white clouds
 grounded in blue. 
The outdoor greeting
presents a pleasant forty-two.
First spring day in the mountains.

Spring in the Valley - Willard Leroy Metcalf
 A melancholy spring song
Spring is Here
Spring is Here - Johnny Mathis - 1961

 A snappier spring song
Spring, Spring, Spring 
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Vivaldi - Spring
Classical music, Concerto No. 1 in E Major, OP. 8

The first day of spring is one thing
and the first spring day is another.
The difference between them is sometimes
as great as a month.
Henry Van Dyke
