from hard frozen ground
the most delicate seedlings –
the magic of spring
brings old limbs a taste of youth
clad in soft delicate blooms

Lovely–and makes me think that from even hard frozen hearts, new growth can flower; magic and miracles.

Thank you Olga. I am feeling very springy, and bright! Everything earthly seem to be moving at warp speed. That tree did not look like that last week:)

So lovely!! something to mark spring is here when you see those blossoms. We don’t see blossoms until May in Québec but I was in Toronto last week and it was lovely taking photos. When I lived there Spring was a month earlier and Winter a month later…I could see how I would have enjoyed 2 more months of sailing there.
