a gentle awakening...

...of spring on the rose bush

look how tender the sprouting is... it's very reassuring to me - after the landlord took his pruning shears last fall and cut the rose bush back to such an extreme... i was worried it wouldn't come back - but it appears that nature is tending to it just fine...

as we fluctuate now between spring snow showers and those tempting warmer days... where my tootsies will itch to burst forth from the confines of their shoes - it will be a marvel to experience yet again... the wonder of new growth - the beauty of fresh colors - young buds opening - floral blossoms sprinkling the ground - i can't wait! this new little sprig is just the beginning - and made for...

a

happy day.....
