What Catches Your Eye?

There is a lot popping up and blooming, right now, here in eastern Pennsylvania. We haven’t had a frost for some weeks and the rain is nourishing the soil and encouraging early blooms.

It has become a really spectacular Spring!

Take your time to notice
what catches your eye and
touches your soul.
… A pause … A deep breath …
A feeling of appreciation for
all the work and beauty
nature is offering us right now

  1. Hi Val, this is Melissa from Ali’s writing circle. I didn’t realize you are from PA, too? Whereabouts? I’m in Akron, PA. I envy you not having any frosts. My flowers are planted and they’ve been getting frostbitten.😣 I’m still new at this. Each spring is a new adventure. Beautiful photos! Love the koi pond. Hope you are having a wonderful day.

    1. Hi Melissa, it’s so good to hear from you 💐I’m in Newtown Square … a bit closer to the warmer weather. Although last night it got down to 40. My annuals will go in mid May, just in case.

    Thank you for the share kind lady, it all looks very ‘Spring’ indeed 🤗❤️🙏
