A Day Of Loveliness ~


there are days
that feel as though your
 head is in the clouds
even though your feet remain
firmly planted on
 the ground
*  *  *
"Spread love everywhere you go:
 first of all, in your own house.
 Give love to your children,
 to your wife or husband,
 to a next door neighbor.
 Let no one ever come to you
 without leaving better or happier.
 Be the living expression of God's kindness."
Mother Teresa

How beautiful, are they pear tree blossoms? It is a shame that Mother Teresa was never sainted, but there are certain criteria...

So Very beautiful. I trees where I live have tiny buds but not blooming yet.
Gorgeous.

Ginny, Kamana and Snapper II, they have some fragrance. They are blossoms on an ornamental flowering crab tree.

You make everything come to life before my very eyes… I swear I can smell them through your photos! Our blooms are opening rather quickly and already starting to fade a bit- too quickly I am afraid. Glad you got these at the perfect time.

So beautiful your blossoms! My backyard was beautiful for 3 days - then the wind took all the little blossom flowers away.
Happy June!

Oh, dear Susan. I have been away from blogging for ages. Yes, I've posted my weekly poem and list, but that's about it for months and months. I have missed visiting my friends. I have missed connecting. I have missed you.

It is so good to come back here and see that you are still savoring the best things in life. Still sharing your beautiful heart and real wisdom here. I have missed you, friend.
