Straight As An Arrow

The buds are swelling and with a little luck, it will just be a couple more weeks before things start really turning green.  

Not much opportunity to take photos today.  I did, however, get some good lunch therapy with a friend I hadn't seen in awhile.  We met about a year ago, she was carrying a book into a doctor's appointment in my building.  She somehow knew it would attract someone's attention, someone she needed to talk to and sure enough I happened to be that person.  She lost her son to suicide in September 2014 after his wife lost her battle with cancer at a very young age. My friend is 59 years old and is now raising his three children.  It's very complicated, but she is handling it well and those children are very fortunate.
