"I said it's Spring again
I can hear the birds sing again
See the flowers start to bud
And I see young people fall in love" – Lou Rawls

" I don't think there is anything more wonderful than a calm, windless summer afternoon,
when not a leaf moves and the light filters through the branches.
You are lying in the grass, listening to the hum of insects that pierce the silence,
you look at the pieces of sky that can be seen through the leaves of a tree,
you are happy and you don't know why.
You don't need anything except who you are." (Octavian Paler)

“Fall colors are funny. They’re so bright and intense and beautiful.
It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color,
to saturate you so you can stockpile it
before winter turns everything muted and dreary.” – Siobhan Vivian.

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields,
that it kisses them so gently?
And then it covers them up snug,
you know, with a white quilt;
and perhaps it says,
"Go to sleep, darlings,
till the summer comes again.” ― Lewis Carroll,
