springtime, officially

Yesterday was the Spring Equinox - the 1st official day of spring - and though it feels like it could be summertime, there's something nice about spring officially starting. 

I love the signs of spring - the greening of the grass, robins with their orangish-red vests hopping around with their skinny little legs, bulbs eagerly poking up from the ground growing everyday taller and taller, and early bloomers like forsythia is unabashed, full-on color. 

I came across this quote that I think sums up springtime perfectly:

Spring has returned.
The Earth is like a child that know poems.
-Rainer Maria Rilke 

a robin with his orange vest
hyacinths popping up from the ground
forsythia, in full bloom
I hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying the new season.
