spring magic . . .

"People from a planet without flowers 

would think we must be mad with joy 

the whole time to have such things about us."  

~ Iris Murdoch, A Fairly Honourable Defeat

"It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.

And when you've got it, you want . . . 

oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want,

but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!"

~ Mark Twain

Do I ever have spring fever!  I try to get a few miles walking and running in during my lunch break . . . and today I just wanted to keep going.

  I probably posted the same thing last year

 . . . but Spring never fails to work it's magic.  

Oh, I do believe in magic . . . and I do believe there must be a fairy of some sort in this last picture - sitting in that tree soaking up the sunshine.  

At least I like to think there is . . . life is just way more fun when you believe in MAGIC!

Day 6 - Sweet November - sky view

I try to get a walk in at lunch time at least a few times a week.  Our weather has been lovely . . . so I have been enjoying a little time away from the office - taking in the sunshine and the Fall colors.  Yesterday I was on the lookout for orange, but I also remembered . . .

"Don't forget to look up!"

Remember to look up at the stars
and not down at your feet.
Try to make sense of what you see and
wonder about what makes the universe exist.
Be curious. And however difficult life may seem,
there is always something you can do
and succeed at. It matters that you
don’t give up
~ Stephen Hawking
