Easter is...

 Easter is so many things

 to so many people...

 It brings us together

 with family and friends,

 to celebrate long held traditions and partake in festivities.

 It is wide eyed children dressed to the nines hunting for delectable delights.

 It is trumpet shaped, pure white lilies given from the heart.

 It is frilly parades, straw baskets and white chocolate bunnies...

 fancified hats and colorfully painted hens eggs...

It is a solemn occasion in which to reflect and be hopeful.

 It is a sign of Spring and a symbol of renewal and rebirth...

 Wishing you a joyous and

peaceful Eastertide!

On the Verge

Do you know what this is?

If you live in the South then maybe you do.

It's a teeny cluster of beautiful purplish Texas Red Bud blossoms!

We are just on the verge of Spring now, the weather is still cool at night but warms up during the day...

Just about everything in my garden has tiny little buds showing,

peeking their heads out looking for the sun...

We just planted this little guy last year, it's all of about five feet tall and putting on quite a spectacular show! If you step up closely to it there is a sweet buzzing sound from all the bees enjoying themselves... they are so wonderful it sounds like they are singing!!
