I Know a Little Pussy
-Traditional
I know a little pussy,
Her coat is silver grey,
She lives down in the meadow,
Not very far away.
She'll always be a pussy,
She’ll never be a cat,
For she’s a pussy willow,
Now what do you think of that?
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow… SCAT!
Inmezi Garden, Latvia, Inguna
Wool Butterflies, Set of 16, Rainbow Colors, Nursery, Birthday or Easter Decor, Waldorf
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. ~Rabindranath Tagore
May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
~Irish blessing
Butterflies are self propelled flowers. ~R.H. Heinlein
If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~Author unknown
The caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity. ~Attributed to George Carlin

Little Bird
-Traditional Nursery Rhyme
I saw a little bird go hop, hop, hop
So I said to the bird, won’t you stop, stop, stop
And was going to the window, to say how do you do,
When he shook his little tail, and far away he flew.

Cherry tree in bloom - wool fiber art, wall hanging, wool picture
Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now-AE HousmanLOVELIEST of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide. Now, of my threescore years and ten, 5 Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, 10 About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow. |

The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants
-Emily Dickinson
At Evening, it is not --
At Morning, in a Truffled Hut
It stop upon a Spot
And yet its whole Career
As if it tarried always
Is shorter than a Snake's Delay
And fleeter than a Tare --
'Tis Vegetation's Juggler --
The Germ of Alibi --
Doth like a Bubble antedate
And like a Bubble, hie --
I feel as if the Grass was pleased
Of Summer's circumspect.
To have it intermit --
This surreptitious scion
Had Nature any supple Face
Or could she one contemn --
Had Nature an Apostate --
That Mushroom -- it is Him!

Blue Skies
-Irving Berlin
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blues skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things lookin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things lookin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, oh how they fly

Spring Items from Waldorf on Etsy
We have not had much of springtime weather here in New England. It's just gotten warm enough to go out without a coat sometimes. This week the trees have leafed out and the garden perennials are taller.
Here is a selection of spring items from Waldorf inspired shops around the world. Click on any link and pay a visit! Each listing is paired with a song or poem, many taken from Spring Poems, Songs and Stories from Wynstone Press. Enjoy them!
I would be happy to see any requests for blog content in the comments, thanks -Karen Traversy

"The Fox"
-traditional
The Fox went out on a chilly night
He prayed for the moon to give him light
For he had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
He ran till he came to the farmers pen
The ducks and the geese were kept therein
He said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o
He grabbed the great goose by the neck
He threw a duck across his back
And he didn't mind the quack, quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o, down-o, down-o
He didn't mind the quack, quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o
Well the old gray Woman jumped out of bed
Out of the window she popped her head
Cryin' John, John the great goose is gone
The Fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
John, John the great goose is gone
And the Fox is on the town-o
He ran till he came to his nice warm den
And there were the little ones 8, 9, 10
Sayin' Daddy, Daddy better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
Daddy, Daddy go back again
For it must be a mighty fine town-o
The Fox and his Wife, without any strife
They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
And they never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones

I Have Seen a Mother Bird
-Thompson and Koteen
I have heard a mother bird, singing in the rain,
Telling all her little ones, Spring has come again!
I have seen a wave of green, down a lovely lane,
Making all the hedges glad, Spring has come again!
I have found a patch of ground, golden in the sun,
Crocuses are calling out: Spring just begun!

she wears a primrose crown..
and little baby buds and twigs are clinging to her gown...

and if she weeps, the raindrops fall,

That will happen only when the fairies sing.
