flowers begotten

in an effort to distract myself from my depression over the end of the gilmore girls, i thought i would share some photos i took in our yard of the arriving spring. enjoy.

For winter's rains and ruins are over,

And all the season of shows and sins;

The days dividing lover and lover,

The light that loses, the night that wins;

And time remembered is grief forgotten,

And frosts are slain and glowers begotten,

And in green underwood and cover

Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

-Algernon Charles Swinburne
