This early species tulip stays low to the ground, and tolerates a root-filled space on a slope in my dry, sandy garden – albeit in one of its sunniest spots. The bulbs seem to increase, and always look incorrigibly cheerful in their sunnyside-up, fried-egg colours, each opening to a six-pointed star in the sunlight.

Song of Solomon 2: 12

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle [dove] is heard in our land

"It is Spring!" Sings the Robin

"It is Spring!" Sings the Robin

The Jubilee Garden is filled with birds. But the robin has claimed a tree, and a particular branch, from which he sings his song of spring.

Psalm 150

Praise ye the Lord.

Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord.
