It describes my life these days. We get such a short and (often) glorious spring. Yesterday snow coated my poor tulips but they have survived. The pink blossoms are not out in glory yet, but who knows. The sun is shining and even thought it is colder than normal I know that the warmer, brighter times are coming. The leaves are whispering to me. <br />Janet Clare F.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-19645783578524877122020-05-10T04:44:22.897-05:002020-05-10T04:44:22.897-05:00Oh, this is simply beautiful and exactly what I ne...Oh, this is simply beautiful and exactly what I needed to read this morning after a yesterday of snow, snow, snow, day-long pajamas and three (yes, three!) naps.
