Spring Fever

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

Spring Fever is rampant in my neck of the woods! It's too early to get it. People are doing a lot of complaining. People are pale and tired of the snow. Even life-time residents act surprised with each cold, dark, snowy day. The problem is, the earlier you get it, the longer it lasts! So, I'm holding it back by acknowledging it, but not succumbing to it. I took this picture three years ago. My neighborhood church has three glorious fruit trees on its property and they are lush with these flowers in the spring. Here, in Eastern Washington spring comes late, but it does come and it is beautiful! When it does, I plan to soak up every bit of its beauty and warmth.
