Bulb Show

My women's group drove down to the Smith College Bulb Show today for a blast of spring. Two greenhouses filled with daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths, blooming apple trees and forsythia, and a multitude of other, smaller bulbs.

While we were there, we walked through the Palm House, the Succulent House, and the Orchid House. Oh, it was so hot and humid in there.

It was 2 degrees here at home this morning, winter still wearing her full regalia--2 feet of snow, frozen in place.

Sometimes, we just need a reminder of the possible.

When your inner climate feels cold and dry, warm yourself up with gratitude and loving-kindness.

I'm thankful for friends, flowers, and home-grown food.
And i'm very grateful for you, dear reader.
