DAY 126
"If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be welcome on any lawn." Andrew V. Mason
Spring is officially here! I woke up one day last week and all of a sudden it was just green, almost overnight everything changed. It's so amazing to me to witness the cycle of the seasons. It wasn't but 2 months ago we were still having single digit temperatures and it was frozen and very cold. The snow had started to melt and it unveiled a brown and ugly landscape. I wondered if it would ever be pretty again. I was still wondering this just a couple weeks ago, our grass had brown patchy spots and the trees were just barely budding. Now I can look outside and see nothing but green everywhere; beautiful buds and flowers in assorted colors. It's like a different place. Even the weeds, such as these dandelions, look beautiful. (No, they were not captured on my lawn.) I can't help but attribute the long, cold winter to my greater awareness and appreciation for spring. I've often wished to live in a milder, warmer climate, but I do love the seasons and I would never want to take this beauty for granted. It is a gift and I'm so grateful for it, allergens, weeds, rain, and all.
Most cheerful pic yet!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how terrible the dandelions are this year! The spring is so wonderful! Yeah, it finally spring!
ReplyDeleteI really like that picutre. I think that dandeloins are beautiful but from a distance.
ReplyDeleteIf it is not to late to cast my vote. I liked the weeping willow on April 18th. I just thought that was such a suiting picture for that week here in Iowa.
I liked your hair cut. How is it now? Did it pass the test?
