~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spring comes with a gentle spirit, one who realizes that warming up softly often brings the best results to the heart and soul. She sends her gentle rain and warm wind to kiss the rich brown soil, slowly awakening the seeds and singing to them as they grow. She blesses the flowers as the gradually emerge, each one more beautiful than any photograph—delicate yet strong. In this time of newness we fill our lungs to capacity and feel the grace she bestows.
early spring is here branches popping out red buds reaching up to sun

Yes, it is getting to be that time. So glad you can enjoy it. Raining here again this morning. We need the rain to make it through the summer though. Do you live anywhere near where the fires are happening out there? Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my pages. Sara K

thanks for stopping by and for commenting. No we don't live anywhere near the fires. We live in northeast Texas. The fires are in the Panhandle of Texas--some 600 miles west of us. Bill's daughter lives in the Panhandle area but not near the fires but the smoke is in the air. Thanks for asking. Appreciate you and your visits, hugs, Sara B
