candy's ode to spring:

I'm sure Byron, Shelley and Keats would approve.

Photos to come of "the first day of spring." But while my camera battery charges, I have to sneak in Dorothy Parker's "A Pig's-Eye View of Literature" to get it out of my head:

Byron and Shelley and Keats
Were a trio of lyrical treats.
The forehead of Shelley was cluttered with curls,
And Keats never was a descendant of earls,
And Byron walked out with a number of girls,
But it didn't impair the poetical feats
Of Byron and Shelley,
Of Byron and Shelley,
Of Byron and Shelley and Keats.
