hello spring

i suppose if you have to come back from vacation, being home on the first day of spring is a lovely consolation.  especially if it’s a gorgeous day.

well so i happened to be walking around the side of the yard yesterday looking for my gardening gloves, when i looked up and saw this.

i actually squealed.  out loud.  like a big goober.

but not only was my peach tree blooming, it was covered in honey bees.

    Oh, my! Those pink blossoms are divine! No wonder you squealed out loud. You have more spring than we do right now but I’m seeing the signs and that makes me happy.
    Welcome spring! Woot!!

    Hooray for spring! Wow you got bee’s too. I didn’t spot any yesterday while out photographing flowering trees but isn’t it grand that the bee’s have returned.

    yes, this is my favorite time of year because I adore bees! If my city would let me I would have a hive in my backyard. And, yesterday, the first day of spring I shouted from the rooftop because I spotted my first monarch laying lots and lots of eggs!

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
