Spring is welcome, even in the temperate coastal climes of Central California. For some of you out there, the return of the light is even more crucial. Cathy, this picture is just for you! Mom and Dad… I’m going to email Cathy your contact info in Michigan. She is my online blogging friend from Ohio and she and her husband will be in Detroit next week for his surgery at Henry Ford Hospital. I know you’ll be a great resource for her if she needs anything. You’ve read her comments here but get better acquainted with her by visiting her wonderful website, Looking Up. Her photography is beautiful and she is a talented writer of prose and poetry as well.


Bless you Laura. Blossoms and friendship.
Welcome Spring and warmth returning. Welcome the hand and heart extended. The Sun will vanquishes winter’s reign, while your kindness is Spring’s gentle rain.
(Oooh, bad poetry for such a pretty picture, but you know it’s from my heart :0) What tree belongs to those beautiful blossoms? Sniff them for me and send a dream of pollen my way.
Thanks, Laura and ‘Hello’ to Mom and Dad!
The tree was some kind of an ornamental flowering fruit tree, I think. It was in the parking area of a boat launch in the Delta. Maybe the honeybees that were working it know …
