The Universe Is Smiling: "Waiting for Spring"

Q: What is today's wisdom?

The Universe Is Smiling: "SPRING"

Drawing CHALLENGE and the winning entry by Shirley:
 “Spring in my Step”
“She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
‘Winter is dead.’”
― A.A. Andy Milne

Thank you ALL for participating by sending THEMEs & QUOTEs and by voting. It was tough and there were several great ones, like the one from Oly & from Meredith. I also loved the German title that my mother sent: "Teddys Frühlingsstimmenwalzer" (Teddy's waltz of spring voices), and the German children's song "Alle Vögel sind schon da..." ("all the birds are already here..."), posted by Frauke.

While "SPRING" was the overruling theme for the drawing, it looked very different, when I stepped out of the house this morning. But spring is in the air ... :)

This challenge was so much fun, we'll do it again.
