Day Seventy Six 2012

.....three days ago

....and today. The best part of spring (and it isn't even officially spring yet!) is when our cherry trees bloom.

"Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough."
- A. E. Houseman, Shropshire Lad

Day Sixty Six 2012

Earth 's crammed with heaven...
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes.
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I wanted to take off my shoes this afternoon and settle underneath one of the lacy green willows growing around the pond where my mom lives and soak up this little piece of heaven. No one could have asked for more perfect weather today. The cherry trees there are blooming, too, and a couple of geese were on the bank of the pond, probably enjoying the wind and the sun and the sky as much as I was.

Day Eighty Seven 2011

What a beautiful, sunny, chilly, blue sky spring day! Monday is always my busiest chore day, so I got outside only long enough to watch grand daughter Shelby cross the street from school and snap this picture of the cherry blossoms against that awesome blue. I'd like to enjoy those blossoms as much as possible. They'll be gone soon.
