Spring Buds: Vee's Note Card Party


Each month Vee, of A Haven for Vee, hosts a Note Card Party. Attendees choose four photos previously published on their blog that they think would make good note cards. This month, I've looked back over my posts to find one photo from last March, immediately below, whereas the others are from April 2011.


No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow.

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"
Robin Williams 


Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment
Ellis Peters 


"Dear old world," she murmured, "you are very lovely, and I am glad to be
alive in you." 
Anne of Green Gables: L.M. Montgomery

It seems that in much of North America, and Europe, too, winter just does not want to let go. But it will, and spring will come in all her loveliness. 

For more photos that would make lovely note cards, click on over to Vee's Party - a convivial gathering if ever there was one.
