Miss Spring sips her tea
as we anticipate her arrival.
She says, “Be patient, for
soon I will bring you
colors so pleasing and
new life, delightful.
But first, Mr. Winter must
finish acting out his scene.

Good one, Lauren, dear friend.
I found this little dialogue deft and it gave me a chuckle 🙂
Cheers,
Eric
P/s Good to have you back. Wink!
Thanks a bunch, Eric. 🙂 With everyone wishing for spring and winter not taking his exit, I found inspiration. And thanks for the p.s., too. 😉 Hugs, my friend!
Ha ha! Mr. Winter is refusing to budge, chortling to himself…your surmises are a joke! 🙂 Buds are confused…”to open or not to open!”
You nailed it, Balroop, and made me smile! Have a wonderful day! 🌷
A cheery post, Lauren. (What pretty China your mom had!)
Mr. Winter has certainly been “acting out” his scene. Will be glad when Miss Spring enters stage left. She has more patience than I. 🙂
Hugs to you 🌸💞
Thanks, Betty, and what’s funny is I was searching for a teacup on google, then I realized I had many in our china hutch. 🙂 It’s nice to use Mom’s, missing her after six years…Yes, Miss Spring has more patience than me, too. 🙂 Have a great day and hugs to you, also! ❤🌼🌧🌥
It’s good you have such lovely reminders of your mom, Lauren. ❤️
Happy almost-the-weekend again. We’re having real spring weather now – today it was sunny and raining at the same time (must’ve been a rainbow somewhere) along with wind. Still some frosty nights ahead.
Hope things are going well there right now. Hugs! 💞💕
Well, the rain is gone until tomorrow. lol So, we’ll enjoy some sun today. It’s Friday, yay, and my “special day” is Sunday, so there is a lot of whispering going on around here. 🙂 Have a great day, my friend, and sending hugs! ❤🏵
Hope you have a wonderful “special day”, Lauren. In case I’m not online Sunday, I’ll say it now:
Happy Birthday!! 🎂🎈🎉🎈🌹😆
Thanks, Betty! 39 again (and again and again…) 😉 Hope you have a great weekend, too. ❤❤❤
I like this one. Very cleverly put together. 🙂
Thanks, Ian. That means a lot coming from such a good writer. This was fun to compose. 🙂
Loved this, Lauren! Yes, Old Man Winter is hanging on, isn’t he?
Thanks, Jill, and yes, he is! Have a great day! ❤🌼
Great thoughts.
Thanks so much!
There is wisdom in patience and not railing against the time.
There is truth in your words, Ben. 🙂

Thanks again, John! I truly appreciate the re-blog! Have a great day!
You are very graciously welcome again.
Spring is here on the coast. I hope it gets to you soon.
Miss Spring was here early in the year, intercepting Mr. Winter’s scene. But now she’s late for her true debut. 🙂
She went on a trip to the South Seas
Mr. Winter has worn out his welcome and no one will be sorry to see him go.
I think you’re right, Binky. 🙂
Would be fun to enjoy a cuppa with you. Great poem ♡
That would be great, Audrey, and thank you! Sending hugs! 🌻☕
I like the human qualities you’ve given here to the seasons, Lauren! C’mon spring – I want more flowers to be out and showing their beautiful colours 🙂
Thanks, Christy, and the rain finally stopped for a day, at least. I’m ready for some flowers and gorgeous colors, too. 🙂 Hugs!
Beautiful china, Lauren, and I love your little story! Winter’s always very eager to arrive here and finds it very hard to leave us. 😂
Thanks, Sarah! I think Miss Spring is finally arriving. 😊💗💐
