Spring is on its way here in the northern hemisphere, with rain melting away our dirty snow...to say it's a beautiful view would not be truthful...but it certainly means a welcome change is coming!
Just a few favorite springy verses for your seasonal creations:
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens
Above is a view of Children’s Lake, a small man made lake in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania near Chris’ house. Boiling Springs is famous for its “bubble”, a natural flow of water from the ground. This continuous source flows into a dam up lake which provides shelter for flocks of ducks and a pair of swans.
Beautiful scenery, fly fishing, the oldest public pool in Cumberland County, quaint Bed & Breakfasts, plus theatre and local events. Founded in 1845*, but settled prior to 1737, Boiling Springs is a village that surrounds the Children’s Lake, right on the Appalachian Trail. The Memorial Clock Tower, erected in 1956 and the Boiling Springs (Grist) Mill, on record as early as 1785, are two landmarks in the village. The mill is one of, if not the most photographed building in the village.
Boiling Springs was also a site for the underground railroad before the civil war, a tourist destination in the early 1900’s, a stop along the Appalachian Trail. Now a location for small shops, art galleries, cafe’s and restaurants, recreation and relaxation. Boiling Springs is a fantastic community of individuals that are inspired to create that small town feel and share it with anyone who visits.
