Gargoyle Chip Report VI

Here it is: the last Gargoyle Chip Report of winter (or summer, depending on your hemisphere). How has it been going?
I have made very little progress on the gargoyles this week, mostly due to the imminent arrival of spring, and the necessity of getting large quantities of pruning done before it gets here. (I have spent three of the last four afternoons up trees.)

Mending Sheets: fabric for patches chosen and added to the relevant project container
Curtains: relevant section of book bookmarked (scraping the bottom of the barrel, I know)
Rose Quilt: no progress

Quotes: Spring!

Spring! Spring is too wonderful to be encapsulated by just one quote, but here are three who’ve tried:

“Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.”
Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

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

“Every spring is the only spring, a perpetual astonishment.”
Ellis Peters

What’s your favourite Spring quote – and what’s your favourite season? I love them all, but if I ruled the universe, Winter would only last for a month!
