the seasons of Spring Street

May 7, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner

Eureka Springs, Spring Street

Spring Street, Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Today for this almost Wordless Wednesday, a comparison of Spring Street in Eureka Springs during my two favorite seasons, Fall and Spring. Author Julian Barnes said when you are young, you prefer the vulgar months… (but) as you grow older you learn to like the in-between times, the months that can’t make up their minds. 

I agree.

Happy Hump Day!

Four Seasons – Vivaldi
