I was just sitting and gazing at my new back yard, appreciating the beautiful green foliage edging the house in a few key places. The fragrance given from my lilac tree lingers ever so lightly now that it already bloomed and is slowly fading away. The red poppies at the end of the row have already gone. What’s next? What colors will appear? I look outside each morning, waiting to be surprised.

It’s always good to have something to look forward to, isn’t it? A new project, a new idea, a new friend, a new slice of life. I think growing things (such as May flowers) may have a lot to do to keep us growing. To make us appreciative of the world. I wonder if the leaves peak around the corner and look for me . . . Where is she? When will she give me water and care for me? I guess we keep each other in good company and growing. 

I hope you have some Spring flowers in your life, or something that is alive and makes you appreciate what you have. Happy Spring.
