First: I hope you are feeling better.
Second: Thanks for up the winter for me. Although here in Minnesota spring is still a long way off. The butterfly and the lilac actually brought back the fragrance of the lilac, At one time before my knees went bad, I had over 100 rose bushes around the place, so the burst of yellow brought back a lot of fond memories. And then there is the pansies, the first flowers we can plant in the spring up here. I love them. And I can never understand why the word pansy is used to denote weakness. They are the toughest flowers around. Thanks again, Cindy and I hope you are feeling alright.

Howdy, Don. You are kind to ask about my health. Not too good, really. However, I have surgery on Friday and then out for a couple weeks. I’ll be glad to getting back to blogging!
Right now I’m just chipping away at the novel since I can’t blog much these days.
Looking at spring pictures in winter always lifts my spirits. Just sharing the love! 🙂

Of course, you know I will go with cacti, and a hummingbird, as we don’t have either here.

I threw those in for you. They were early bloomers in March a couple years ago. The Hummers are constant companions. I wish you could visit AZ one day. You’d love it, I feel.

What an encouraging time of the year Spring is. However it remind me that on the other end of the earth we are on the slow count down to winter ourselves. lol. Already I can feel the beginnings of an early chill on my daybreak walks.

No snow here, we live in the sub-tropics about 8 minutes drive to some of the best beaches in the world. We have not had a cyclone in this area for about ten years now. Most of those would be in the tropics about five hundred miles north.
