Yes, I’m back❣️






~
Hellebores and bulbs
A new season unfolding
Chanticleer Garden
Sneak previews entice
Uplifting the spirit, and more
New spring in my step
~
Chanticleer has sneak previews on Wednesdays and Fridays before opening day in the 27th. What a treat to see the early bulbs … and all the work they are doing!
What brings a spring in your step these days?


This morning, though there is still snow on the ground and ice on the edges of the river, the sound of the Canada Geese honking as they rest on the ice reminds me,
spring is in the wings
honking, geese share nature’s song
seasons change with grace

Love your haiku Louise 💝 The Canadian geese are pairing and nesting around here again. Honking geese and noisy Wrens are sure signs of Spring.

Thank you Randall 💐 we move from one cycle to another, and Spring brings uplifting energy and a quickening in anticipation. With this natural upsurge, it’s also a good time to pause and allow, knowing that the flow is always moving through us all.💖
