The world's favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May.
Edwin Way Teale (1899-1980)
Addendum: I just saw that I used this very quote on this very day in 2008! Ah well, they are great words no matter how often we read them.
So true!
ReplyDeleteIt sure does feel different than any other months,
DeleteIsn't that the truth. Love the header photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am fond of those little scilla flowers.
DeleteI always say that in October but find that I'm beginning to appreciate spring more than I used to. Is Teale the one who wrote Autumn Across America? Or something like that? I remember loving it years ago.

I've read only one, but loved it.
He was such a popular writer when I was growing up. I think my Aunt Fran first introduced him to me with the book North with the Spring.
ReplyDeleteI have a little reading scheme planned for this summer. I am going to read his Journey Into Summer beginning on June 21, the first day of summer. I so look forward to this.
DeleteFabulous quote, Nan, and pictures to boot! This May morning, I do feel "all things seem possible".
ReplyDeleteI thought that photo of him went perfectly with his words! And I'm so happy my daffs are blooming.
DeleteSo glad to see that people still appreciate Edwin Way Teale's books. He and Hal Borland were brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI read Springtime in Britain and wrote about it here:

I loved it.
If it is worth saying, it is worth repeating. I'm thinking I have one of his books. Need to look. Thanks. Nan.
ReplyDeleteha ha! Thanks.
