Blooming Before Our Eyes
February 24, 2021
Good Morning Everyone… I was listening earlier this morning to a cardinal singing in the back yard. There is nothing like the sound of bird song in the morning. The cardinals must be grateful for this sunny morning, as I am. They also tell me that spring will come, and as the snow melts, and the days grow warmer, soon we will see buds, then blossoms, blooming before our eyes.
Last fall I dug a new pandemic garden bed, so I could plant tulips, daffodils and crocus outside my kitchen windows. My elbow has not forgiven me yet for all that digging. As we all wait for our second pandemic spring to arrive, I am thinking today of the gentle awakening of spring and the gratitude that encompasses me when it arrives. Today, I am grateful for the sun and bird song.
