Are YOU ready for some SPRING in your life today?<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fanfare and Ballyhoo<\/h2>\n

final snowfall
\nadvises slow-moving changes
\nfloating, spiralling, dancing
\nwhispering progression
\nhardy wet quiescent branches
\nundressed false acacia
\nfast-growing tree
\nblack locust takes
\na long nap
\nin rural woodlands
\nanticipating sunshine
\nafter final snowfall
\nsoft warm rain, new growth
\nfragrant clusters swagger
\nspring blossoms flourish
\nwhite, pink or purple attire
\nwelcome the new season of
\nfanfare and ballyhoo.<\/p>\n
