Some Thoughts on Easter   : )  ~

At this time of year we start to see the blossoms on the trees, and the nascent sprouts of bulbs coming up from the ground for air, and to bloom for our (and their) pleasure.  We look at our neglected yards and start to daydream about plants to install decoratively and functionally (have you noticed how raised bed “victory” gardens have become the norm almost everywhere ???  I think this is so wonderful : )  We start to sneeze, and try to remember what alleviated our allergy symptoms last year.  As we drive down the street we notice more & more “for sale” signs as those who want to make a change of some sort venture forth (now is a great time to beat the onslaught of new listings to come, by the way).  Those of us planning vacations are booking flights online to get the best prices. Those of us who have awoken from a long winter slumber to new love or a new job or new anything are practically chirping with the birds as we greet the day in early morning hours…. and that is the biggest thing about this time of year.  Newness.  Everything seems new.  Look around… you might even see sunshine and blue skies as we get ready for the heavenly months to come in our beloved Oregon locale.  My only message here is to notice… Notice the newness in your life, and savor it.  Take advantage of it.  Live this day for the New day that it is. It will not come again.

Happy Easter!
