    I am anxious for spring to arrive here and the red buds and dogwood to start blooming. It isn't long until that happens here.

    Gorgeous photos! I'm up early with my grandchild who is having a coughing episode and see your post and the photos and the words have lifted my spirits. Thanks!

    Deleted my last comment when I realized I'd misspelled a word. It's early. :)

    Hello Mary. Don't you just love Sarah Breathnach? Her Simple Abundance is an almost daily reader for me, with companion journal. I also have been working on the Self-Discovery Journal for years. LOVE it! Thanks for sharing the lovely photos, too. Sincerely, Susan

    EX-QUI-SITE!
    Exquisite! Your photography, Mary, is just stunning and you are so gifted! Well-done!
    Thank you for that beautiful quote.
    I also love Sarah Ban Breathnach's books, and her seasonal excerpts.
    Here's a quote I appreciate:
    “If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” ~Anne Bradstreet

    Mary, Blessings to you and your family!
