Berthe Morisot Pasie Sewing in the Garden oil on canvas 1882 Two Sewing
by Hazel Hall The wind is sewing with needles of rain. With shining needles of rain It stitches into the thin Cloth of earth. In, In, in, in. Oh the wind has often sewed with me. One, two, three. Spring must have fine things To wear like other springs. Of silken green the grass must be Embroidered. One and two and three. Then every crocus must be made So subtly as to seem afraid Of lifting color from the ground; And after crocuses the round Heads of tulips, and all the fair Intricate garb that Spring will wear. The wind must sew with needles of rain, With shining needles of rain, Stitching into the thin Cloth of earth, in, In, in, in, For all the springs of futurity. One, two, three.

Thanks, Pam! Happy new year to you too! We just had rain and snow on Saturday and are due for another snow storm tomorrow. The Berthe Morisot painting makes me hope that Spring will come some day,
