Share and Share Alike & Posts of the Week

Sharing is what the POTW are all about.

You visit me.

I visit you.

I do my best to keep track of the posts that make me think "more people should read/see this" and so I share it.

It's simple really.

I love it when kidlets understand fairness and show empathy to others. Lynzie is enjoying a cool drink of water. You can see that Lily is anxious to quench her own thirst and Ms. Lynzie is quite aware of her.

Lily's turn. Who says kids don't know how to share?

It looks like it's about time to do a bit of sharing of my own.

And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a POTW.

I Must Have Flowers

Earth laughs in flowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The spring's first dandelion shows its trustful face.
~ Walt Whitman




blue flowers
Where fall the tears of love the rose appears, And where the ground is bright with friendship's tears, Forget-me-not, and violets, heavenly blue, Spring glittering with the cheerful drops like dew.
~ William Cullen Bryant




daffy twins
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead."
~ A.A. Milne



flowers everywhre
You cannot forget if you would those golden kisses all over the cheeks of the meadow, queerly called dandelions.
~ Henry Ward Beecher
 



red tulip3
Each flower is a soul opening out to nature.
~ Gerard De Nerval





yellow tulips
Oh, tiptoe from the garden
By the garden of the willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
~ Al Dubin




grape hyacynth
Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?
~ James Montgomery

I must have flowers, always, and always.
~ Claude Monet

At Jill's request, I have linked this post with her Weekend Garden Party page. You might want to give her and her other posters a visit for some fine spring greenery. 'Tis the season, after all. Jill's beautiful photography can be seen regularly at She Who Carries Camera.
