Spring Brings Poetry

Good Morning!

Ah Spring, the trees that bloom rise as giant bouquets.
Give yourself a moment right now to enjoy Spring / Fall, both are beautiful seasons. It’s Spring here and it is so beautiful.

Here is a picture of our ornament Pear tree, we have nicknamed The Prince of Trees because it seems to require more nurturing than the others.

It is a poetry inspiring month. We can understand why National Poetry month is April.

Please share some of your Spring or Fall photos.

In love, light, and words,
Kristin and Delaina
