Totally Optional Prompts offers: The Spring equinox (N. Hemisphere) has just passed, so it's now officially spring in the US. I declared spring a number of weeks ago, though, when we had our first balmy day. How do you mark the change into spring, or into any other season? Do the equinoxes and solstices anchor your calendar, or do you go by the weather?

I love the 'lion feeds on lamb' line! It definitely seems true this year =)
love the haiku
the seasons seem all over the place but then they often have
Monday here was cold and strong winds all day but I had to go to the dentist so braved it.
Tuesday was lovely sunshine and I had a lovely country walk
Wednesday it was so windy we never dared go out.
This morning it was drizzling when I went out - later it poured down, then the sun came out but it was bitter cold - mid-afternoon we had hailstones and now there is a bright sun about to set and a blue sky
we seem seasonless
What a wonderful expression of spring and the watercolor, soooo beautiful. Glad I stopped in.
Hugs, G
Nicely done. Particularly liked the old description of March in the last line.
Really like "down slippers on frosty feet"
Oh, these are so perfect for fickle spring!
I really like both of your haiku with their strong images!
And your watercolor is beautiful!
Beautiful painting. Both of the haiku are very nice but I am partial to the second.
Tentativly spring! Love your watercolor!!
You write and paint..wow..talented. Spring to me is when the birds start to sing....Michelle
Flip flop to season change:) Lovely one.
Here in North Texas winter never happened this year (except on exactly one day only). So it is good the get the feeling from this poem of actual change!
Loved the springy thoughts!

"Lion feeds on Lamb" so true. I want spring and the warmth of the sun - it can't come fast enough for me.
I don't even know where my flipflops are! Spring sure does tease, doesn't it?
These are really good, Sue/
