Glory to Spring!

Mom and I celebrated Easter with a trip to a local garden center.  The pansies were smiling, nodding and cheerily welcoming our visit.  Two swans also gracefully glided nearby looking for snacks and just looking with a knowing that the earth blooms with color and humans around this time every year.

Still Almost Spring

The temperature outside may be cold and damp. The sky may be gray and grayer, but I know that spring is here when the frost leaves the ground and everything tilts a little less.
