When I was a kid growing up, we had a cherry tree in the backyard, 100 years old. I climbed it, and it gave shade in the summertime and excellent cherries in the late summer. Having cherry blossoms around gives the best springtime vibe ever.

Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.

Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'

I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.

Sweet April showers do spring May flowers.

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.

Spring is very energising to me.

I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.

Spring has many American faces. There are cities where it will come and go in a day and counties where it hangs around and never quite gets there. Summer is drawn blinds in Louisiana, long winds in Wyoming, shade of elms and maples in New England.

Spring beckons! All things to the call respond; the trees are leaving and cashiers abscond.
