Spring

There is only one word to describe spring in Tennessee: LUSH!!!!! It seems that every day something new has come out to dazzle the eyes and the nose--at first it was daffodils, hyacinth and Bradford trees, then yellow forsythia and red tulips; now the dogwoods are blooming--with showy white and pink blossoms. Wow!!!!

Here's a little poem about the progress of spring:

Showers and shine bring,
Slowly, the deepening verdure o'er the earth;
To put their foliage out, the woods are slack,
And one by one the singing birds come back.

William Cullen Bryant
