June 2 The Power of Flowers

"Fish and Flowers"

Flowers offer the first hint of spring. Where I live, there was much anticipation months ago on the arrival of spring after what many considered a long, dark and difficult winter. I actually like hunkering down on cold, dark days. For me, when the flowers start popping up, it means more time spent venturing out into the world. 

Seeing the tiny green shoots appearing and then really taking off means warm breezes, picnics, beach time. First come the crocuses, then daffodils, paperwhites, followed by the magnificent iris. Right now, honeysuckle scent is carried on breezes and I get blasted with it as I head out. Pleasant way to begin the day.

Take a few seconds today to notice the presence of flowers..their scent, the way they attract bees, the way they look, with all their delicate and subtle coloring and details.
