Hello Monday!

Hello Monday!

Hello spring blooming INSIDE. My forced crab apple branches are flowering!

Hello April showers. I hope they bring lots of May flowers.

Hello accomplishing some projects this week. 

I've got my mind set on finishing some memory books and photo albums. It will get done!

Hello to a miracle and prayers for a long distance friend of mine that gave birth prematurely to her daughter today at only 26 weeks pregnant. She's been on my mind all morning. I'm sending her and her family lots of prayers and positivity. Hoping that sweet baby thrives and continues to be healthy.

Welcome April

Crab Apple Branches

Welcome April!

We've been waiting for you.

The snow is melting, the sun is brighter.

It's wonderful.

Maple Branches

Two weeks ago I trekked through nearly knee deep snow to clip some tree branches to force.

I gathered branches from my crab apple trees, a maple tree and some wild elm trees.

I brought them inside and plopped them into some water.

They're now budding and leafing.

So fun.

Maple Buds

It helps the soul to bring a bit of spring inside.

Soon the branches outside will be budding too.

I can't wait to see things green up.

Wild Elm Branches

I'm so happy that spring is nearly upon us.

It's so so so close.

Happy April to you!!!
