I dislike the word #kingdom: it's one of a list that through the ages has been invoked by the powers-that-be for justifying all manner of large scale unconscionable acts. So I'm going with Shelley again today.

An old favourite!
"If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?" (Well? Can it? I don't know: the seasons are so confused these days!)

Stacks of books everywhere as we paint our condo this week.

Book of poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley. Husband of Frankenstein's Mary Shelley. Circa 1886

Hello Spring! ?I can‘t believe it‘s May already! ? I just want to share this picture I took last weekend at the Botanical Garden. I‘m so glad I got the chance to see the beautiful tulips!
?
And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth‘s dark breast rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~Percy B. Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"
