We are enjoying the lilacs.
Smaller than years past but beautiful and fragrant all the same.
I love being able to go outside and cut flowers to bring inside.
Add the birds singing in this verdure and voila-Heaven!
IÂ am grateful that I recognize and appreciate the abundant beauty that surrounds me.
I still miss my mom.
She loved sitting in nature too.
I guess she IS life now.
a huge flock of juncos
singing so beautifully
flitting around the trees, the  grass,
in and out of the cedars
their song en masse
allowing me to awaken with them and the earth this spring
