Maybe it's something to do with Spring...

For the second day this week we have a beautiful day, with blue skies and gentle breezes offering the hope that there must surely be more days like this to come within a few short weeks and months.
The words of one of The Master's most uplifting songs, ' Something to do with Spring' have been going round and round in my head.
A sparkling dance tune (foxtrot, probably!)from the early 1930s, it contains some of his best light poetry, some marvellously cynical thoughts on how nature seems to go OTT at this time of year( 'It all looks much too clean, that grass is far too green...!'), and some wonderfully dotty observations on the bucolic wonders of Springtime ('That cow resembles a rural dean, maybe it's something to do with Spring!')
I hope I can keep it in mind when the skies are grey again, and overcast as they surely will be, come washday!
