Spring: Life in Bloom

Spring in Bloom
The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. The bees are buzzing. Everywhere I look I see everything coming to life and blossoming right before my eyes. Roses are beginning to bud and blossom vibrant shades of reds and pinks. The warm air begins to blow in sending the tops of my Cottonwood trees swaying to and fro. They sound like home!

Vibrant Vegetables
Spring is one of my favorite times of year. I look forward to it's arrival and all the beauty it brings with it. I love to see all the changes taking place and see how mother nature evolves right in front of me. She is bountiful and strong yet delicate and fragile.

I take care to notice the changes in my life and how I relate to the environment around me. I can't help but notice the evolution of life that takes place. I watch as everything comes to life and the land is filled with bright greens and vibrant colors and then watch as it all fades into the coming seasons and prepares to emerge just as beautiful the next. IT IS BEAUTIFUL and something to be appreciated and admired.

I express gratitude towards the greater power that works in my life and all around me, in everything I see. For we are all part of this beautiful circle of life.

My little duck friends fly in and stay a while. I am happy
to be part of their journey and It is always nice to see them return every year!

mixed up. It was quite lovely

Ready for the summer outdoor life
This is how we will be spending
our summer. It has already reached 95 here in southcentral Texas. Good thing I love the heat.
He loves to swing. We usually start
our morning out by swinging a little.
Glad the weather is nice enough to be outside now.
Ready to go for a stroll.
This little boy loved being outdoors.
Always wants to be on the go.

Texas Bluebonnets
You can't find these in any other state.
The Texas hillcountry highways
are littered with these beautiful flowers. You can see
people all over the roads, stopped to take pictures in the
bluebonnets with their babies. I have yet to get in on this. ?
If we can't be outside, you can usually
find this little one crawling up to the
living room window to sneak-A-Peak at
what is going on outside.

Working on the mural for the outside of our garden
If I can't be at the beach, I can at least create one.
“Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are.Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.” Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Loving the sunshine and the outdoor life
Sunshine is good for the Soul
We anticipate it's arrival every
year and have to take it
real slow on It's consumption

This Beautiful Life

Find something beautiful everywhere you look.
Spring is a great time of year to watch the wonders of this world and just how amazing this life is.
There is beauty in everything.
You just have to look.
