"Spring is God's way of saying, 'One more time!' "

The month of May was come, when every lusty heart beginneth to blossom, and to bring forth fruit; for like as herbs and trees bring forth fruit and flourish in May, in likewise every lusty heart that is in any manner a lover, springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds. For it giveth unto all lovers courage, that lusty month of May."  - Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte d'Arthur, 1485 

A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay;
A swarm of bees in June      
Is worth a silver spoon;
A swarm of bees in July
Is not worth a fly."
- Rhyme from England

"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."
- Robert Frost

"Spring is God's way of saying, 'One more time!' " - - Robert Orben
