Quote: Bloom and Blossom

There is something about flowering trees that speaks to me, they are just so inviting and hopeful. This past week whenever I had the chance I would take a picture of boughs of blossoms and single buds. 

May 2013

As April was ending we were still getting snow flurries, but then as if May put in an order, last week the sunshine arrived. Bringing with it blue skies and warm breezes. The plants have been growing, but it was only with this sunshine that the flowers have been convinced to bloom. I guess this month I'm feeling a little like those flowers, I've been growing a lot this year and now finally with the shift of season and the sunshine I'm finally ready to bloom. Lots of reaching out and opening up happening right now, so stay tuned there is much more to come.
