Spring brings to mind a myriad of thoughts. Positive, optimistic hopeful. Creative sparks of energy take hold and get us moving forward.

“We had heavy, long lasting snow again this winter, which results in matted down garden beds. Nevertheless, spring’s sun and warmth becomes stronger, longer, and less sporadic, gently inviting us all to stretch and wake up.

Sustainability is manifest in this image. The rise of a cluster of daffodils ensues as the sun’s warmth provides the energy for growth. Last year’s leaves and stems provide support and soon will add nutrients to bear health in the perennials. Unseen life will aid this process and sustain themselves in the process.

My energy grows too as I find myself outside more discovering signs of spring’s arrival.
