"Reluctantly spring makes her way. At winter's edge she hesitates, as if she feared to come too soon. The primrose halts, the wind-flower waits, for spring's green cloak is flecked with snow, and in her tresses wild and bright -- a dew of frost glints in the gold and sparkles in the sun's cold light."
~ Patience Strong ~
Although spring is a reluctant entertainer, a teacup and saucer in snowdrop theme can bring simple joy and gracious hospitality to those who patiently wait for its arrival.

Oh, so lovely. I enjoyed the poetry and couldn't help but think those on the East Coast would agree that spring is indeed reluctant this year.

ReplyDeletethe perfect words as we await spring's arrival!
ReplyDeleteSweet little tea cup...
ReplyDeleteSpring will soon reach you I am sure. In the meantime your cup is a touch of springtime. I often bring out a cup with tulips for this time of year. They do remind us of what is coming.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little tea cup! :)
ReplyDeleteSpring is still weeks off for us but I'm still dreaming of the garden anyway.
Absolutely beautiful!
