    Paula I was so excited to show our one year old grand daughter just yesterday that the buds are appearing o nthe leaves. She was very excited watching the Canada geese that have now landed on the river banks. We are seeing glimmers of spring.

    How can you not find beauty in spring? (Answer: If it’s autumn!!!) your photo is the very essence of spring and of pink. That background is amazing.

    What a sensational color. So rich and warm. My flowers are not quite blooming yet. It has been cold and rainy, so we have just the early flowers and nothing else yet. Maybe next week? hard to tell. It’s pretty chilly for this time of year.
