Primavara (Spring)

Spring comes to Obedin


Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world. - Virgil A. Kraft





If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. - Nadine Stair




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





In spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt. - Margaret Atwood




Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself. - Zen Proverb





He that is in a town in May loseth his spring. - George Herbert





For us, Spring = Memorial time.  The hall is in the city and of course the road from our house to there is under construction.  We're still working out the timing: traffic in the am weekend vs traffic in the evening weekday, where to park, how long it takes us to walk, etc.  Sometimes we arrive absurdly early and sometimes by the skin of our teeth as was the case Memorial night.  However, this was due to certain young boys talking on the phone to a certain grandmother who had called to check and make sure we were getting ready and able to make it.  
The irony.
