Spring blossoms
The tiniest buds begin to emerge along seemingly lifeless stalks. Trees take on the electric, green sheen of fresh, new leaves. Pruning shears see the light of day after a long winter’s sleep. Birds wing back north. Abandoned porches and stoops buzz with signs of life again. Neighbours linger to talk for longer than it takes to exchange pleasantries. It’s a heady time when memories of snow, ice and slippery sidewalks recede to the background, and when unruly lawns and the hot, humid days of summer are too far off in the distance to ruin the party.
Spring is in the air! Sujatha eagerly awaits cherry blossoms in Washington,DC, while Patrix scoots over a highway to photograph bluebonnets in texas.

I love Cherry Blossoms!!! This year they weren’t as great as in the past but there still something so special about this time. Its a notice to all home bodies to come out and breath the fresh scent of spring.
