Spring Buds

Seedlings drift on cool spring breeze Gently floating on each gust of wind Falling slowly into deep crevices Touching the fertile earth below Branches shed dried remains of winter Barren trees now enhanced by various shades of green Newly formed buds appear Dew drops kiss colored blossoms The sun beams with all it's charm New growth steadily emerges Spring adorns her dress of green. 07/08/15

A lovely spring gift to visualize Phyllis. I wish we could go back to spring. We had a beautiful cool spring here in Hawaii, but summer has descended and now it is hot and humid. Cheers, Connie

Yes spring brings new life and is beautiful. In the midst of smoke from forest fires in our province. Hard to breathe some days as it gives you a headache and hurts the chest. Not good for anyone with breathing problems right now. Have a wonderful week. love phyl
