It Came!

Our apartment complex backs up to some woods, well almost all of the Kitsap Peninsula backs up or is surrounded by woods. Anyway all of the disgusting dead trees have adorable baby leaves! I think it happened just today, at least I just noticed it this morning.

Ahhhh Spring. Now coming from Houston, Spring is either a suburb just north of town or two weeks of pretty weather in April, maybe. Trees don't lose alot of their leaves, it never gets so cold that you need to thaw out. But Spring has a definate pressence here in Washington. In my first photo notice the brown trees hind Abbey. This photo was taken only a few days ago. In the second photo is the same veiw but with tiny green leaves!!!



In honor of this wonderful season I give my top three favorite spring scenes in movies, so that if spring has not yet visited your home you too can have a springy day.

1. Hallmark's Secret Garden
I keep repeating a line in my head over and over. Tulips are blooming all around and all I can think of is when Mary says "There will be curtains and fountains of roses." Ahhhh a classic.

2. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
This wonderful musical is not as well known but delightful. It's story line centers around the seasons and when spring comes there is a musical number devoted to the arrival of spring. This one will get you singing and dancing.

3. Easter Parade
Oh another classic. Judy Garland is in this one. And who doesn't like singing, dancing and a new Easter Outfit? Well the mother of all Easter dresses is in this one. Maybe not the spirit of Easter but the spirit of spring.

Enjoy if you happen to own these spring inspired movies. I only have Seven Brides for Seven Brothers so I will have to imagine both Secret Garden and Easter Parade. I know Mom has Secret Garden and I don't know if they make Easter Parade on dvd. I am sure Easter Parade will appear on TCM or AMC.
