even in the bleakest yards

spring is arriving in asheville..........even though it snowed flakes of snow last night, she's arriving in all her light pink glory.....praise the fruit trees, the dogwoods, the birds tweeting news of sunshine and new grass. maybe they sense that bird feeders are full as humans awaken to our own awakeness, newly discovering what is always here: life.
even in the bleakest yards, colors amplify our senses. spring is the season of love bursting like it's never been felt before. winter has taken its toll for sure, again, but wait here's spring reminding us of love. how could we forget? easy! because putting on coats and hats and gloves and layers upon layers makes us forget. winter's hard. so we get spring to balance us out! hooray for the universe; she's the best mother nature ever.
so. enjoy your spring, however it's transforming you. good luck with your gardens, your planting, your reaping what you sow!
